Meet Colleen Heister-Miles
Colleen Heister-Miles is a native to the Cincinnati area, specifically the west side of Cincinnati. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in business from Xavier University and began her career in insurance for Encova Insurance, formerly Motorists Mutual, in Columbus, Ohio. She started out as a non-standard auto underwriter and then transitioned to an agency field representative. After several years on the carrier side she moved her focus to her family’s insurance agency in Cincinnati, where she has worked for the last 16 years. Her family’s agency is a 4th generation independent insurance agency, founded in 1901. Colleen is in the process of purchasing the agency from her father and is excited to become not only the 5thgeneration family owner, but first female owner of the agency. When not binding insurance and over-explaining the complexities of the hard market, she enjoys growing her vegetable garden, strength training, cooking, traveling and, of course, spending most of her time with her husband and 3 children.
