W. VA. AGENCY TO SERVE HISPANICS

March 21, 2005

Veronica Hall, an associate agent with Maiden Financial in Martinsburg, W. Va., has opened what she thinks is West Virginia’s first insurance agency catering to Hispanic clients. Hall said she didn’t intend to work in the insurance industry and didn’t plan to stay in the United States several years ago when she came from Argentina to visit her father.

Now Hall says she has found her niche–helping Hispanic residents in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle accli-mate to life in a different country–Hall said she wouldn’t want her life to be any different.

Hall held her grand opening for the agency on Feb. 26 at 127 S. Queen Street. Maiden Financial is an exclusive Nationwide Insurance Agent.
