Amanda Bishop
Bay City,TX
Summary
I am a hardworking, energetic woman who loves helping others. My outgoing nature coupled with 7 years of insurance experience, has made me a fantastic saleswoman and agent. I have an eye for detail and a goal-oriented mindset, which has enabled me to win many awards. I love helping and advising my customers and my fellow agents.
I enjoy spending my free time fishing, hunting, sewing, crafting and spending time with my family. I am very involved with my church and served as the Children's Ministry Leader for 4 years. Most weekends you can find me watching my nieces and nephew at a youth rodeo, softball tournament or football game. If I am not spectating, then I am probably fixing fence, working cows or mowing grass. I am happiest outside!
