A Florida native, I attended Spruce Creek High School class of 2010. Go Hawks! I have spent a majority of my adult years working in customer service and hospitality. I have been a licensed insurance agent for two years now, and I absolutely love the work I do. Working with customers to find the most suitable policies that work for them is my goal. Home, auto, health, and life insurance can all be overwhelming... therefore I inform our customers about our products and provide exemplary service.

I have lived in the New Smyrna Beach area for over 25 years. I attended NSB High School and graduated from Daytona State College where I received a BA in Supervision and Management. I have worked in the restaurant, retail, real estate and travel industry and have finally made my way into the insurance business! Living in a small beach town provides many opportunities to live the simple life with lots of sunshine. When I’m not at work, you’ll see me strolling along our sandy shore near the rocky, surfer captivated inlet. A true passion of mine involves learning other people’s interests and then helping them pursue their goals. I look forward to offering my services to Buddy Davenport, his knowledgeable team and loyal customers! ~

Mary-Kent is a recent college graduate, excited to begin her career working for Buddy Davenport. She knows that insurance is motivated by helping people. We are there in the good and the bad times when you need us, like a good neighbor. Mary-Kent will be working in auto insurance and assisting customers in saving money as well as finding the right coverage. When she was growing up, Mary-Kent moved to New Smyrna Beach to be with her new twin brothers. She is originally from Atlanta. However, she has fallen in love with our quaint, quiet little town and cannot imagine ever leaving. In her free time, she likes to paint, read, run, and in general have fun.
