Associate Insurance Advisor

I've worked in the insurance industry for my entire career, primarily dealing with business insurance from both an underwriting and broker perspective. As all businesses are different, it's important to discuss your unique needs, so that we can recommend coverage to provide you with peace of mind and allow you to focus on what you do best – running your business!

Hannah Haden

Client Contact Representative

I joined the team here because I enjoyed how personalized and close the office was when I was a client. In my time here, I want to be able to help people in the community I was raised in and make sure they are cared for the way I was.

Jacqueline Haden

Associate Insurance Advisor

I moved to Airdrie in 2000 with my family after growing up in Calgary. After staying at home for 12 years to raise my four children, I joined the team part-time in 2010. My first role was our Client Contact Representative. As customer service is a priority for me, I wanted to be able to help out more with our clients. I'm now a full-time Associate Insurance Advisor, helping our clients with their auto, home, farm, business, special events and travel insurance needs.

Hobbies

When I'm not working, you can find me at sports venues watching my children play the games they love. I also enjoy painting, baking custom cakes and home design. What I love most about my job is the interaction with our clients and helping them understand their policies.

Kylie Anderson

Associate Insurance Advisor

I've worked with Rockyview Insurance Services since 2020. I started working here because of my love for the customer service aspect; one of the parts of my job I enjoy most is being able to offer advice tailored to fit each client’s unique needs.

“The relationships we build with our clients are special and help foster their trust in us to ensure their present and future needs are taken care of.”

Hobbies

Outside of the office, I enjoy travelling (I've been to nine different countries) and listening to country music. I have a family of three and my daughter just turned one.

Nicole Toren

Associate Insurance Advisor

I've been with Co-operators just over a year.

My goal was to find a great career opportunity within the community doing something that was both meaningful and enjoyable. I had an interest in the insurance industry and previous career experience in a similar environment, so this felt like a great fit.

“My goal is to help our clients easily navigate and have the best possible experience with their insurance-related needs.”

Hobbies

Outside of the office, I'm an amateur photographer, artist and avid horse enthusiast. I've ridden horses most of my life and recently discovered a love of riding motorcycles, as well.

I have a special place in my heart for rescued animals and have fostered several dogs and cats over the years through the Calgary- and Edmonton-based rescue.

Nikki Priest

Associate Insurance Advisor

I've worked with Co-operators since September 2023 and am currently working towards my Level 2 Licence.

I'm committed to providing clients with the best customer service and ensuring that they obtain the products and knowledge that are right for them. I'm excited about helping clients feel prepared and have peace of mind that they have a solid plan in place to protect their loved ones.

Hobbies

Outside of the office, my favourite thing to do in my spare time is read. I feel that every genre has amazing books, but I most enjoy fantasy and horror.

I also spend a lot of time with my dogs, going to parks and hiking with them.

Travis Sande

Associate Insurance Advisor

I spent my early career in the financial services industry and recently made the switch to insurance. I joined Co-operators in September 2022 and specialize in home, auto and business insurance.

I moved from Calgary to Airdrie in 2017 and found the transition to be warm and welcoming. Community has always been a priority for me and it’s a quality passionately shared by everyone here at Co-operators.

Associate Financial Advisor*

Mutual Fund Investment Specialist**

I've been in the financial services industry since 2008, and joined our Co-operators family in April 2015. Insurance is not a one-size-fits-all industry, and I firmly believe in having a complete insurance conversation with every one of my clients. This enables me to ensure that each client leaves the office with the protection and peace of mind they deserve.

I specialize in life insurance and investments and also assist with business, farm, home and auto insurance.

I relocated to Airdrie from Calgary with my wife in March 2015 and we both enjoy the intimate, small-town feel.
