Nearly 22 years ago, a part-time job opportunity at an insurance agency in Fuengirola marked the beginning of a profound professional and personal transformation for the owner of EU Insurance. What started as a temporary helping hand evolved into a lasting vocation.
With natural drive and enthusiasm, she quickly proved her capability, stepping into the role of claims handler. This experience provided her with a crucial hands-on understanding of how policies function, laying the groundwork for her subsequent move into underwriting and eventually managing the entire agency.
Despite international relocations due to her then-husband's career, her interest in insurance persisted. Upon returning to Spain, a place she considers home, she rejoined EU Insurance, where her contribution was swiftly recognized. Following the retirement of the former owner, she became the natural successor, ready to take over the company after working her way up from an employee.
Today, at the helm of EU Insurance, she leads the company with the same energy and dedication that propelled her from the very beginning. Her journey is a testament to hard work, determination, and a deep love for her work, where genuinely helping people is the central pillar.
The entrepreneur sees herself as a guide for clients, particularly for expatriates navigating the complex Spanish insurance system. She believes empathy is as crucial as technical knowledge in building trust, offering a personal, patient approach focused on individual needs.
Her commitment extends to the well-being of her team, fostering a workplace culture where every member feels valued and supported. In a sector historically male-dominated, she actively encourages women to pursue careers in insurance, acting as a mentor and promoting confidence and respect.
The stability and flexibility her career has provided, especially during her years as a single parent raising two children, have enabled her to balance professional and personal life. The insurance sector has offered her independence, purpose, and the opportunity to remain rooted in Spain while building a meaningful career.
Her story exemplifies perseverance and self-belief, demonstrating that the best career paths often emerge from seizing opportunities and trusting one's instincts. The entrepreneur highlights the importance of creating a professional life that works for each individual, with space for growth and connection.
With a smile, she states: "I genuinely love what I do, and I want other women to know there’s space for them in this industry too. There’s so much opportunity here—for growth, for connection, and for building a life that works for you." Today, she is not just the owner of EU Insurance but also a role model, investing in her clients, her team, and the community.
