Went independent
Hi, I'm Kelley, and my path into insurance wasn't accidental. It grew out of a genuine interest in people. With a psychology degree from San Diego State University, I've always been drawn to understanding what matters most to individuals and families, and helping them protect it.
I entered the industry in 2007 with the largest personal lines carrier in the country, starting as a team member for a local agent in San Diego. There, I focused on financial services sales — life insurance and investment planning — and discovered that this work was deeply meaningful. Helping people plan for the unexpected and build toward the future felt like a natural extension of everything I'd studied.

2026
Founded Anchor Stone Insurance Services
After 10 years as a captive agent, Kelley took the leap to go fully independent — giving clients access to more carriers, more options, and truly unbiased guidance.
Today, Anchor Stone Insurance Services is built on everything Kelley has learned across nearly two decades — from financial services and claims, to agency operations and client advocacy. Going independent means she's no longer tied to one carrier's products. Her loyalty is to you.
Whether you're protecting your home, your family, or your business, Kelley brings the experience of someone who has worked every side of this industry — and the heart of someone who genuinely cares about getting it right.
