Leonie Dawkins, Medicare Insurance Agent
About Me
I had been a teacher for more than thirty years. I took pleasure and pride in mentoring and shaping the minds of children. I love to see them win. Throughout my years of teaching, I developed a strategy that enabled my students to achieve their desired goals. My students needed to know that I was there when they needed me. So, they believed in me as their teacher.
This is the approach I take with my clients: I allow them to win every time. We are talking about the client's health. My students needed my help in those early years of their development. They need the truth then. My clients need the truth now.
I am a licensed Life and Health insurance agent. I do not know everything, and I may not be able to answer all your questions. I can assure you that I will do all that is within my power to help you. Otherwise, I will call on my well-able and experienced team member who will gladly help, for the benefit of the clients' satisfaction.
