My passion is to help others. If I can use the experience I have in the insurance industry with my knowledge and professionalism to accomplish that, I have accomplished a part of my goal.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Marianne is very active in the community. Marianne served as President for the Association for Retarded Citizens of Middlesex County and served on the board for six years. Marianne also worked to generate funding for the Korean War Memorial. She serves on the Board of Directors of "With Eddie's Help", a New Jersey Nonprofit corporation established in honor of Edward (Eddie) T. Strauss who lost his life during the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Marianne started in the insurance industry right after High School as a part-time position. Eventually, she came to understand the meaning of insurance and how it can be a powerful tool to help those in need. She takes pride in being able to add to the financial protection of others.

 “Insurance can be very confusing to people and they tend to shy away from it. I have found being able to explain a variety of coverages and programs in simpler terms can help the Business Owner understand what they are buying. Just like I would not know how to lay cement, or provide medical advice, I respect those that specialize in what they do to help me out. I, in return, offer my knowledge and experience to help others.”

Marianne has excelled in the insurance industry over the past 35 years, holding positions in marketing as well as management in the Commercial and Personal Lines departments for independent insurance agencies. The Speakman Agency is her long time dream as she is now able to truly help others to easily find the financial protection they need from someone they can trust, who will be there for them no matter what.

"I was taught to be loyal to those around you, trust in people as you want them to trust you. Honesty, loyalty and integrity are the traits I am most proud of and hold close to my heart."
