Kenya Richards
Associate Insurance Advisor
Hello! My name is Kenya, and I am excited to share a bit about my journey in the insurance industry. I embarked on this path in October 2024, when I proudly obtained my General Level 1 Licence. This milestone was not just a personal achievement for me, but it was also a tribute to my father, who dedicated his career to Co-operators.
I grew up in the small town of Stettler, AB, and recently relocated to the vibrant city of Lethbridge. I am enjoying the new experiences and opportunities that come with city life.
When I’m not in the office, I love immersing myself in my hobbies. I am a huge fan of cinema; there is something special about getting lost in a good film. Additionally, I find joy in baking and have a passion for DIY projects, particularly flipping furniture.
I am eager to continue learning and grow here at Co-operators. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me, and I look forward to connecting with you!

Kerry Pontarolo
Associate Insurance Advisor
Hi there, my name is Kerry! I have an active Level 1 General Insurance Licence and specialize in auto insurance. I understand the importance of protecting our local farmers, business owners, young families and new clients to find the right insurance coverage for their individual needs.
I grew up on a small farm outside of Picture Butte and in 2018 I moved back to that same farm with my husband and two teenage boys. I have a background in education and working with our community youth, which has helped me realize the need for educating and protecting those who matter most.
When I'm not at work, you can find me cheering on local sports teams, camping with family and friends and spending time outside with our many animals. I enjoy being a part of the Co-operators team and will continue to strive to build strong relationships within the community.

Sarah Spooner
Associate Insurance Advisor
My name is Sarah, and I began my journey in the insurance industry back in June 2023. I obtained an active Level 1 Insurance Licence in October 2024.
Originally from Lethbridge, AB, I made the decision to move to Taber in pursuit of a more tranquil small-town lifestyle. This vibrant community has embraced me warmly, and I cherish the slower pace and close-knit atmosphere that small towns offer. It’s a fantastic place to connect with others, and I truly enjoy being part of this community.
Outside of my professional life, I find immense joy in spending quality time with my family and my beloved Labrador. In addition to my family and furry companion, I have a strong passion for the outdoors and photography. Exploring picturesque landscapes and capturing their beauty through my lens keeps me creatively engaged during my leisure hours.
I am dedicated to continuous learning and personal growth, and I look forward to expanding my knowledge here at Co-operators. The insurance industry is ever-evolving, and I am committed to staying ahead of the curve, ensuring that I can provide the best possible service to my clients.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to connecting with you and helping you navigate your insurance needs!
