Get to know Eden:


  • First job: At 13, my twin sister and I would clean the offices and break room at my dad’s feed business once a week. I thought my dad’s petty cash was there for us to buy snacks from the vending machines (LOL!). We did this cleaning job every week until we left for college.
  • Her coffee order: Straight up black—just started this a year ago and it was rough at first to leave that creamer out.
  • Favorite sports team: Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Blackhawks (and now, the Seattle Kraken!)
  • Favorite pastime: Watching my 8-year-old twin daughters participate in what they’re most passionate about—one plays travel hockey and one is a competitive figure skater!
  • Music genre of choice: Can I just say Ed Sheeran? He is a genre for me.

Eden’s excited for her new role at Symetra and will be a valuable resource in her market.
