Patricia’s journey in the insurance industry began early on, as her father and uncle owned an insurance agency in Central California. During her high school years, Patricia spent her summers working at the agency, gaining valuable insights and a wealth of knowledge.


Following her education at the University of California - Santa Barbara, Patricia found herself drawn to beautiful Hermosa Beach. It was there that she took the plunge and established her own agency in 2004. Since its inception, Kinter Insurance has remained committed to providing exceptional service and fostering enduring relationships with clients.

While Patricia remains focused on her professional commitments, she recognizes the significance of achieving work-life balance. Beyond the office, she enjoys spending time with her loving family, traveling and exploring her culinary talents.
