Julie, who has been with E.C. Cooper since 2010, does a little bit of everything in the office. She is a customer service representative — preparing quotes for current and potential clients, making policy changes, answering questions — plus she does the bookkeeping, accounting, payroll and HR. “I like being able to help my clients. I feel accomplished when I complete a project for a client or when I write a policy that is hard to place. Sometimes I have to think outside the box and it feels great when I am able to meet a client’s need. I also enjoy helping clients through the claims process, reassuring them that they are being helped. I know you can’t make everyone happy, but my goal is to try.”
