Kennedy Blackburn joined Arlington/Roe as a Commercial Assistant Broker. She is a graduate of The University of Olivet (formerly Olivet College) with a bachelor’s degree in insurance and risk management. In addition to achieving high academic honors, she was the chief recording and reporting officer for Olivet’s Gamma Iota Sigma chapter and was the setter and team captain for the Woman’s Volleyball Team.

During her summers, she gained experience on the retail agency side of insurance through internships at The General Agency Company and Hylant.

Her favorite aspect of her career is that insurance is relationship-based and ever changing. She feels comfortable that in insurance there is always something to learn and a solution to be found. She is on track to receive her AU and CPCU designations.

In her free time, she enjoys being active, baking, traveling and volunteering. She enjoys spending time at the lake during the summer and at the ski hill during the winter.
