Paula’s career has spanned over 32 years in the New Mexico insurance and benefits market, including nine years with Client First. Paula applies her desire to provide exceptional service and practical solutions and her knowledge and analytical abilities as an employee benefits advisor, client advocate, and ACA consultant. Paula’s insurance and benefits experience began with Brokerage Services/Group Brokerage, a TPA and sales general agent for fully insured and self-funded programs. She later joined a local independent agency where she managed the firm’s clients, compliance, sales, implementation, renewal evaluation, employee advocacy, payroll systems interface, and various benefits administration activities.
