Professional Profile
My name is Ashley Dodd. I’m a home grown Okie. I graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma, where I earned my bachelor’s degree and met and married my college sweetheart, Corey. We have three vivacious, inquisitive children that we adore, and a rowdy dog named Otis. Our family enjoys being together, whether it is reading, fishing, camping, gardening, or outdoor movie nights.
I’ve worked in the insurance industry for many years, but I’ve found my greatest pleasure serving the needs of those in the Medicare community. Being able to provide answers to their healthcare questions and glean from their wisdom is a genuine pleasure that I enjoy immensely. The people I meet and serve are wonderful, and it’s my privilege to be a resource for them as they navigate their way through a complex program. After continuously running into Social Security questions – I elected to pursue more education in the world of Social Security. I want to serve my clients well, and this was another thing I could do to help them make the best decision for themselves. Knowledge is absolutely power!
