ERIE has provided me with responsibilities and challenges to keep me thinking, developing and expanding my knowledge.


I came to ERIE with a limited background in insurance, but the career development and underwriting trainee programs helped me learn and feel more successful in my position. This experience and the relationships I have developed at ERIE will have a great impact on my career.
