Trudy has worked as a Health Coverage Specialist for 9 years and her own experiences coordinating a variety of health insurances with difficult family medical issues has given her a more sensitive approach when helping her own clients through the process. She enjoys meeting clients to help them navigate the complexities and changes of the Affordable Care Act and how it applies to their situation. Trudy says, “clients become friends” because each year there are changes to report like babies being born or kids aging out of their parent’s plan and entering into their own adult households. Trudy grew up in New Jersey, and as an adult lived in Spain, and other states, but Fort Collins has been home for over 31 years. As a graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Nutrition, Trudy volunteered for 10 years to help the American Diabetes Association with the “Safe At School” program for Type I Diabetics.
