Jordan Hanson

JORDAN HANSON,

UNDERWRITING ASSISTANT
Jordan joined SMM in 2017 and is Jeremiah's right-hand person. During her time, she quickly learned the inner workings of a Program Administrator. Her aptitude, dedication, and attention to detail are traits you rarely see in one individual and have allowed her to move up within the company. She aids the underwriting staff, including Assistant Underwriting duties on new and renewal accounts. She has also helped refine and maintain SMM's operational strategy. With a few more years of training, Jordan's future holds unlimited possibilities. Jeremiah sees her as one day becoming his second in command.
