Amber Foss began her career in the Employee Benefits field in 2003 shortly after graduating High School. While attending Portland State University where she studied Criminology & Criminal Justice, she worked part-time for an Employee Benefits Firm as a Receptionist. Shortly thereafter she was promoted to the role of Account Manager and began managing a large book of business for several Agents in the office.
In 2009 Amber graduated with her Bachelor of Science degree from PSU Suma Cum Laude and was a part of the Criminal Justice Honor Society. After graduating, she decided that she loved working in the Employee Benefits field so much that she was going to continue to do so instead of pursuing a career in the Criminal Justice field. In the Fall of 2009, she opened a new Agency with one of the Agents she had closely worked for several years and transitioned into a Senior Account Management role.
In addition to the 14 years of experience in Employee Benefits, Amber has also had several years of experience in Customer Service and Risk Management. For several years, while working as a Senior Account Manager, she also worked a second job for a Major Retailer doing Risk Management/Loss Prevention. During this time, she received multiple awards including Detective of the Year for the Oregon district in 2012 after being with the company for less than one year.
Amber currently manages two individual books of business as well as an employee benefits book of business. She guides our clients and their employees with over-the-top customer service. She is responsible for developing proposals, negotiating with the Carriers and providing our clients with a detailed renewal analysis. She also prepares customized employee benefit guides and Employer Compliance Manuals that are designed to comply with ACA and ERISA laws as well as building customized web portals for Employer Groups and their employers where they have 24/7 access to all benefit information.
Amber takes great pride in not only making your HR Department’s job easier, but ensuring that each employee has a complete understanding of their benefits package while also providing peace of mind. When she’s not working, Amber enjoys spending time with her family & pets including her two small kids (who keep her on her toes!), 2 dogs & a one-eyed rescue cat.
