About

Colleen Marie Pacheco is the Agency Principal of Secured Insurance group. Colleen is an enthusiastic client-services professional who has worked in the insurance industry for the past two decades. Secured Insurance Group, which is led by Colleen, offers insurance seekers throughout the state of Florida business, life, home and auto insurance policies.

Colleen was born in Rochester, New York and moved to Florida when she was 8-years-old. Colleen graduated from Lake Brantley High School in 1997 and later attended Valencia and Seminole Community College. She then transferred to a career training Institute in Orlando, Florida and graduated in 1999 with a technical certificate in Medical Assisting, LPN/CNA/HHA. Upon graduating Collen went to work in the healthcare industry for a short period of time before quickly realizing as much as she enjoyed helping people, she did not enjoy the blood and bodily fluids that came with the job.

Colleen’s parents owned an insurance agency from the time she was in high school. Here she used to work part-time filing and taking messages whenever they were out of the office. After the birth of her son Chris, Collen went back to their agency to help part-time. This is where Colleen’s career in insurance first began.

After her husband received a promotion in 2000, Colleen and her family moved to Jacksonville, Florida where she decided to finally take the plunge full-time into the insurance industry. At age 22, Colleen took a job at Zurich Insurance Services as a Licensing Specialist. This was when Colleen decided to pursue getting licensed in insurance to grow as an industry professional.

Colleen went back to working for her parents’ insurance agency after moving back to Orlando in 2002, Florida Insurance Planners, where she helped by entering clients into their new digital system. While taking on this task, Colleen took the opportunity to obtain her adjuster and customer service agent licenses, which she kept until 2014 when she converted them into a 220 General Lines Agent License.

Colleen then went on to work for 12+ years building her family business until she felt confident enough to put her name solely on policies. By 2016, Colleen’s father decided to retire and sell the family business. During the transition of the sale, Colleen continued to work for her parents until 2018 when they sold to Acentria. Colleen worked for the business for two years until finally deciding to leave the company and form her own insurance agency with a few business partners to create Secured Insurance Group.
