Shelley Tillman is a life and health broker specializing in health insurance at The Marathon Group, licensed in in Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, California, Oregon, and Texas. She has extensive experience in accounting and banking, and she is a notary public. She has also spent time in social services and home health care during her 20-plus year career, seeing the need for health care firsthand. “I chose to focus on health and life insurance because it’s an opportunity to help those that are underinsured. When the mind and body are in alignment, people can see the path to obtaining a secure future more clearly,” she says.
Shelley is confident about her purpose and is rooted firmly in her life experience. “I tell people that my most important role is being a mom, but my role is also that of an educator in insurance. I am different because as a Caribbean woman of color and a mom I can relate to the ordinary man and woman that that have come to this country in the pursuit of happiness and financial stability. It allows me to have more personal conversations to show that sacrifice is necessary in obtaining a better life than where they came from,” Shelley says.
“My goal is to help every family obtain the protection they deserve. I can be the tool that they can use to educate themselves about insurance. I love seeing the satisfaction on a client’s face once they know they’ve set themselves and their family up financially,” she says.
