April Helgeson

I got my insurance license in 1998, and I’ve worn a lot of hats in this industry. I currently serve as the team lead in our Statesville office, where I write and service our clients’ insurance needs.

My favorite part of the job is standing up for my clients when things don’t go as planned. When a claim goes south, I’ll fight tooth and nail to make sure they get the coverage they’ve paid for. There’s nothing better than hearing the surprise (and gratitude!) in a client’s voice when they realize I’m truly in their corner.

I grew up in New Jersey, but North Carolina has been home for quite a while. I’ve been married for over 20 years, and I’m a proud mom to my 20-year-old. I can honestly say I raised my best friend, and that’s a pretty amazing feeling.

Outside of work, I’m usually in the kitchen or on the yoga mat. I love to bake — my carrot cake has been known to win hearts — and I practice yoga every day to keep the aches and pains at bay.
I’m proud to be part of the Leavitt Elite family, where teamwork, integrity, and genuine care for our clients are at the heart of everything we do.
