I opened Toppin Insurance Agency in 2019 after working in the insurance industry since 2013.  My husband, Kelly Toppin, and I have lived in Stow since 1998 and have raised our daughters, Emily and Sarah, here.  Prior to insurance I was an owner of American Hospitality Coffee Service in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.  I have volunteered in the Stow-Munroe Falls schools in a variety of ways as my kids were growing up, including being on the board for the Stow-Munroe Falls Band Parent Association.  I am currently an active member of the Stow-Munroe Falls Rotary Club, Stow-Munroe Falls Chamber of Commerce and volunteer for Bulldog Bags. I love being a part of the Stow Community and giving back.
