Samantha Quigley

Sales Specialist - All Lines
I started with Gerard Fischer and Associates LLC in June 2021. I can honestly say I love working and interacting with the public. I have been working in the customer service industry since I was 16 years old. The thing I love most about my job is being able to help people protect what means most to them. I love the aspect that every day, every situation is unique and I believe every individual deserves the same exceptional experience. My motto is, it’s a great day to make it a great day. I like to believe that life is what you make it and I intend to keep experiencing life to the fullest! Sams email: squigley@amfam.com
