About Me

Some things about me
MELANIE BAXTER BLACK


• I have been in the insurance industry for 13+ years.
• I am a proud Native East Texan. My family has been in Texas since 1836 when Texas was its own country!
• I am a retired Licensed Massage Therapist. I retired in 2011 after fifteen (15) years practicing massage therapy where I specialized in helping relieve chronic pain/chronic illness.
• I am a 13+ year colon cancer SURVIVOR and a 6+ year Trigeminal Schwannoma brain tumor SURVIVOR. I have learned through very personal experience how not having adequate or appropriate insurance can negatively impact your health, health treatment and your recovery.
• My calling in life is to help people. I helped people for 15 years with massage therapy as my tool. Now, I help people with insurance as my tool.
• I am also an avid Senior Advocate. I help educate people and help them understand the importance of all types of health and life insurance. I also educate people about programs available to them and assist them in applying for these programs, i.e. Extra Help program, Medicare Savings program, etc.
• I am committed to helping my clients choose the best insurance coverage for their specific situation both health-wise and budget-wise. I believe that no one should have to spend every last penny they have to pay for insurance coverage. Insurance coverage should provide security and help to increase the quality of one’s life, not detract from it.
