I’m a benefits connoisseur and I exist first and foremost, to help you navigate benefits. Along the way I’ll share insights on Clarity’s mission and bring some much needed simplicity and humanity to the world of benefits.
Clarity is so much more than a third-party benefits administrator. At our core, we truly believe that life is a journey, one that should be lived well. Offering elevated benefits can make a profound impact on physical, emotional, social and financial health.
My job is to take that vision, match it up with my goals, motivations and frustrations, which are a reflection of your own, and bring a friendly face to the benefits landscape so that you have all the resources you need to live well! I’m here to answer questions, guide discussions and (most of all) to help employees to celebrate the joys of life at work and home and keep the stress of benefits at bay.
At the end of the day… I exist for YOU! And I’m so excited to assist you in your benefits journey!
