Meet Your Agent: Laura Roddey

When did you start working at Kinghorn?

About seven months ago, at the end of June.

What is your role here?

I do commercial lines processing, which means I work on the back end of policies by keeping accounts organized and updated – audits, endorsements, renewals, claims, COIs . . . I also help as a receptionist, and I’m in training to be an account manager.

If you could be a superhero, who would it be, and why?

I was a ninja turtle for Halloween. Does that count? If I could have a super power, it’d be invisibility. If get into an awkward situation, I could disappear (LOL).

What’s your favorite place you’ve visited?

Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. It’s one of the UNESCO world heritage sites, and it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. The limestone is beautiful.

What’s something you’re proud of?

I’m really proud of my college degree from Wofford. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my family, boyfriend, and friends’ support. I got a degree in Psychology with a minor in Art History.

What’s something you want to learn to do?

This is so random, but I think it’d be so cool to learn how to fly a plane. I don’t know if it’ll ever happen, but it’d be cool.

What’s your favorite food?

I couldn’t decide on one, but my favorite meal is mac and cheese, steak, and zucchini. I love zucchini.

Who is your favorite fictional character, and why?

I’m gonna say the dynamic duo of Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked. They portray a good battle between changing someone or accepting them for who they are.

What’s something you could talk about for hours?

My different travels/traveling. I have a long list of places I’d like to go and have enjoyed the many places I’ve been.

What’s your secret talent?

I don’t know if it’s much of a talent, but my secret hobby is photography. I like to take pictures of old buildings that are dilapidated.

What was your favorite TV show growing up?

Full House.

What does being an insurance agent mean to you?

Being an insurance agent, to me, means being able to help people while they could be in their most vulnerable state (claims). Also to be able to protect them from the many unknowns and support our insureds to the best of my abilities.
