Jennifer Rios |  j.rios@carrancoinsurance.com
I am originally from California but moved to the great state of Texas in 2018. Prior to moving to Texas, I worked in insurance in California for 3 years and was blessed with the opportunity to continue growing within the insurance industry when I got here. I am a proud mother of two and considering that I'm one out of thirteen siblings, one of my core values is to value and protect my family and the community. I can help you protect your family with insurance as well! I love educating people about insurance and how it can help you with your individual needs. My goal is to educate more people on how to be prepared in the event of a loss. My favorite hobby is photography; I love being able to capture beautiful moments for families that last a lifetime.

I also love to color - it's my go to for relaxation... I love seeing all of the work come together for a finished product. I’ve been in the insurance industry for about 18 months - and look forward to connecting with you! My goal in life is to be a constant learner - the more I learn, the better I am for me and for others.
