In this episode of InsHER, I dive into the inspiring journey of Angela Lee, Director of Claims Operations at Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA). Angela's career is a testament to the power of curiosity and continuous learning. From the early days of her career, her desire to deepen her knowledge and build meaningful relationships set her apart. Angela’s commitment to personal growth and development—without necessarily pursuing a promotion—has shaped her success. She shares invaluable insights on how to become a technical expert in the insurance field, emphasizing the importance of continuing education and the pivotal role networking played in her career.

Angela's passion extends beyond her personal achievements; she has also cofounded the Asian American Insurance Network (AAIN). Two years ago, recognizing a gap in support for Asian American professionals in the industry, Angela and her co-founders established AAIN to foster mentorship, networking, and cultural awareness. The network has since grown to over 2,000 members, reflecting Angela’s belief in the need for such an organization and its impact on future generations, including her son, a risk management and insurance major. Angela’s message to young professionals is clear: embrace your curiosity, seek out what “lights your fire”, and continue to challenge yourself to grow.
