Pasionarias, sometimes you meet someone whose fire and drive can spark everyone around them to drive themself to connect, inspire, and lead those around them. It’s like a ring of fire around this person. One by one, everyone in her reach becomes consumed with being the best versions of themselves because they know SHE believes they can be. That someone is my bestie, my sister from another mister, Monica Del Campo. Monica and I met when we were both selling Scentsy and our love for our hometown and drive to please our customers connected us right away. But it was her passion to realize her dream that has drawn us closer, and her mentorship that has kept me moving towards mine.
Monica grew up like me in El Paso, Texas and after high school, began attending night school for nursing at the local community college, while working during the day as a receptionist for State Farm. Little did she know that State Farm would someday be her stage.
After almost 15 years working in personal lines, small business commercial insurance, and personal lines underwriting, a door opened wide open for Monica when a close friend of hers, Yvette, was contacted by a recruiter for State Farm, and told the recruiter she knew just the right person. .
I still remember when Monica told me seven years ago that she had been selected to start training to become a State Farm agent. I watched her go through months and months of intensive training and testing and the tedious search for just the right place to call her own. She and I both believe in “God things” and it was completely a God thing when a retiring agent offered to let her take the reins and serve the Westside of San Antonio. God has also had a hand in each and every one of the people who staff her office, and it is their heart for service that has grown her business and landed Monica top awards throughout the State Farm world, most recently being appointed to the Chairman’s Circle, an honor achieved by only the top 3% of agents nationwide.
Join us to hear about what makes Monica a champion and how her passion for serving others has helped her grow into one of the top State Farm agents in San Antonio. She inspires me everyday by balancing heart and drive and always pushing to be the best while bringing those she loves up right alongside her. Vamonos– juntas somos pasionarias! .
