I opened my San Leandro office in 2001 with one staff member. I live in this community and became an Allstate representative to help create a life for my children and myself. I was a single mother of three and, when my children left for school, I decided to become my own boss.I've been a member of the San Leandro Chamber of Commerce since 2001 and I volunteer at the annual San Leandro Cherry Festival. My staff and I are proud to support many local causes and organizations, including the Allstate Foundation's Purple Purse and Disaster Preparedness.I love the San Leandro community and all it offers. Throughout the year, you'll find my family and I attending the annual cherry festival and Sausage & Suds Music Festival. I have three children, one son and two daughters, as well as eight grandchildren, all living in the Fontana area. In my spare time, you'll find me gardening, walking my two dogs, Phutiee and Thuffy, or going out dancing with family and friends.Becoming an Allstate representative allowed me to become financially independent, leaving more time for travel and my family, two things that are important to me. I know how hard one has to work to build a life full of these meaningful experiences and knew I wanted to help families protect what matters most to them through my agency.My staff and I work as a team and are a family. We learn from each other and the customers we help so we can continue providing top-notch service. We have staff members who are fluent in Tagalog and Spanish and can assist you in your preferred language. Whether you're a small-business owner looking to protect your livelihood, or a first-time homebuyer in need of home insurance, we can assist you.

We have a second location in Pinole.
