USFHP – Shannon

"I was born and raised in Orange County, California and graduated from Chapman University in 1999. It was there that I met my husband and we married in 2000. We currently reside in South Orange County with our two daughters and two Labrador Retrievers. I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for those that have served, and appreciate the sacrifices made by service members and their loved ones. Although I do not have a military background, I have family members that do.

My brother, a golden shellback, served in the Navy from 1996-2000 and was deployed on a WestPac tour to Sasebo, Japan where the first ever crew swap was performed. His second ship, the USS Merrill (DD-976) was the first testing platform for the tomahawk missile. It was decommissioned in 1998 while he was still serving onboard. My grandfather retired from the Navy and passed away in 2003. He was honored with a 21-gun salute at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego, where he was laid to rest.

As a professional, I have been in the insurance industry since 2011 and have extensive knowledge of medical benefits. I take great pride in representing the US Family Health Plan due to the many advantages and unparalleled service it offers. The freedom to choose your provider, the ability to seek care outside of the military treatment facility, and the concierge level of service through a dedicated team are all examples of the many reasons why I enjoy educating military retirees and active duty family members about this Tricare Prime option. I look forward to helping you make the most informed decision about healthcare for you and your family."
