Nichole Ward

Agency System Manager

 

Let’s start off with some work related questions.

Q: What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?

A: I think my experiences in being a PA and AB have greatly assisted me in better understanding, and relating to, the needs of our staff, when it comes to managing our EPIC database.

Q: What brought you into the insurance industry? 

A: My sister was working for Burns & Wilcox in San Francisco and I had moved to Sacramento with a couple girlfriends in 2007.  I asked her to see if they had any openings in their Sacramento office and they did…I’ve stayed in the industry ever since.

Q: What do you like best about your job? 

A: The relationships and camaraderie I’ve built with my colleagues. I’ve always engrossed myself in jobs where I’ve felt connected to my colleagues, more than I’ve ever done just for the job itself or for financial gain.

Now let’s find out a little more about your life outside the office.

Q: Who is someone you admire, and why?

A: My twin sister!  She’s a single mom…the best mom.  The dedication she gives to her daughter, herself, her job and living life are inspiring.

Q: Do you have any skills or talents that most people don’t know about?

A: I won’t say I’m fluent, but I am pretty good at sign language (I took it for 4 years between high school and college).

Q: What do you want to make sure you do before you die? 

A: Make a difference in people’s lives. I’ve always had this dream of starting a shelter and/or meal kitchen for the homeless and underprivileged communities.  I’ve been so blessed in life and I want to give back!
