"Hispanic Heritage Month holds great significance to me because it provides a platform to proudly showcase our traditions and rich cultural heritage to the world." Debbie, an underwriting section manager, sees her Hispanic heritage as a bridge to connect and collaborate with colleagues from different cultural backgrounds. "When I first joined State Farm, I didn't have connections within the company. It was common to hear others mention their family or friends who worked here. "By actively engaging in employee resource groups like the Hispanic Employee Resource Organization (HERO), I discovered a connection to something familiar. This not only provided a sense of belonging but also opened doors to meaningful mentoring relationships." Inspired by her experience as a committee member, Debbie became a Co-Lead for HERO, with the aim of contributing to its growth and providing support to others. "Taking on the position of a Co-Lead for HERO has allowed me to give back to a community that has profoundly influenced my own journey. "The organization's commitment to attract talent from diverse backgrounds contributes to a dynamic workplace culture and fosters a sense of belonging for everyone."

"My inspiration for entrepreneurship was ignited by my father. As the first member of our family to move to the United States without knowing a word of English, he built a life and business from scratch. I appreciate the opportunities and accomplishments I have experienced in my own journey because of it." State Farm independent contractor agent Ivan Huerta, a proud first-generation Latino born in the U.S. and first in his family to graduate college, began his insurance journey assisting Spanish-speaking customers on a sales and service team for a different company. After taking a break from insurance for a few years, Ivan recognized his passion for educating customers and returned as a team member for a local State Farm agent. "Upon discovering the range of products offered by State Farm, I noticed a gap in my community. This inspired me to create a safe environment to support and simplify the complexities of insurance for State Farm customers. "My team and I prioritize education and actively engage in discussions to tailor our services to meet individual needs. It is truly an honor to have the opportunity to make a positive impact in the community I am privileged to serve!"

As a young child, State Farm independent contractor agent Yolie Aleman-Rodriguez recalls often translating for her Spanish-speaking parents who relocated to the United States before she was born. "I vividly remember an incident where my father's truck was stolen while my parents were insured by a different carrier. I had to translate to my parents that the incident was not covered under their insurance policy. This reshaped my career aspirations, fueling my desire to help other families in avoiding similar situations." After graduating with a degree in business, Yolie worked in various roles for State Farm corporate before pursuing the agent opportunity. "In 2002, I discovered my dream career and became one of the first bilingual State Farm agents in Tolleson, Arizona. Now, my team and I passionately serve as a support system for the Hispanic community. My husband, who is also a State Farm agent, and I share our dedication and love for this incredible career. As I reflect on the joys of the last 22 years, I am eager to see what the future will bring!” Learn more about becoming a State Farm independent contractor agent: https://lnkd.in/giWjAvk9 #HispanicHeritageMonth

As a daughter of Hispanic and Asian immigrants, Jenny Tola grew up in a close-knit family that emphasized hard work, resilience, and the importance of community. Aware of the challenges faced by many immigrant families around financial stability and navigating the complexities of insurance, Jenny saw firsthand how language barriers and lack of access to information could leave families vulnerable. "After obtaining a master’s degree in marketing, I considered various career paths. I was drawn to the idea of working in a field where I could directly impact people’s lives and realized I could do that as a State Farm independent contractor agent. By helping families secure their financial futures, I could provide peace of mind and security – something my own family had worked so hard to achieve." In 2008, Jenny launched her agent office in Chicago, IL. She takes pride in educating State Farm customers, many of whom are from Hispanic or other minority communities. “Being a Spanish speaking State Farm agent allows me to communicate effectively and build trust with customers – an invaluable asset in this career. I encourage my team to share their unique perspectives, fostering a collaborative environment, to provide the best service to customers."
