Katie Jackson

I have many years of insurance experience both with captive agency and on the brokerage side (including working for one of the largest public brokers in the world). I have worked with personal lines (including life and health) as well as commercial lines. I started working in FL insurance after moving from IL in 2021 and dealt exclusively with net worth carriers where top-notch customer service is required. That philosophy stays with me for every client I serve. I love living in SWFL and have 3 very active children. When we aren’t at sports, dance, or guitar lessons, we are most likely enjoying the beautiful waters either on a boat, kayak, paddleboard or shelling on the beach. My favorite part about working at State Insurance USA is how much we give back to the community and the great team I get to work with every day!

Mikayla Jacobs

Although I’ve moved around a bit, Fort Myers is where I grew up and I am proud to consider it my home. When I’m not working you can find me volunteering at church or spending time with my (very big and continuously growing) family! I have 2 biological and 5 adopted siblings. I am blessed to say fostering has been a huge part of my life and holds a very special place in my heart. Music is very important to me as well. You’ll find me singing as often as I can, whether that be at church, in the car, or in the living room with my younger siblings! I’m blessed and excited to be a part of Blake’s team here at State Insurance USA. I look forward to being able to assist you and your family in any way I can!

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family with most Saturdays spent being a cheer mom to my sassy teenager. When we’re not cheering, we love to go riding, fishing, having cookouts and swimming. They say it’s not work if you love what you do and being a part of the State Insurance USA team has been the best decision I’ve ever made. This place has become a second home with the best coworkers that truly make you feel like family. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and helping bring comfort to your family.
