I was born and raised in Holland, Ohio to two wonderful parents who have and continue to support, encourage, and inspire me. My three sisters and I pridefully attended St. Ursula Academy for high school. Sports were the nucleus of my childhood with volleyball reigning as my true passion. I earned a scholarship to play in college at The University of Southern California. I have proudly been married to my amazing husband, Mike, for 11 years now. We reside in Whitehouse, Ohio and have three children under the age of 10. For ten years I have been a stay-at-home mom and cherish those memories with all of my heart. Now that they are all in school, I have decided to join my two sisters and father at our family insurance agency, The Florian Insurance Agency, in which my sisters and I are the fifth generation to continue this business. We specialize in auto, home, commercial and life insurance and I absolutely love working with my family and integrating my competitive spirit into my profession! I currently coach volleyball both at Anthony Wayne and the Toledo Volleyball Club as my oldest daughter is beginning her own journey. When time allows, I enjoy exercising, tennis, and spending time with friends. I believe laughter is the best medicine!
I love providing a superior product to my clients knowing with complete confidence that they are protected, covered, and cared for no matter what life may bring.Q: Who is the most interesting person you’ve met here in our community?
