Jennifer Padolina is a dedicated Partner at New York Life Insurance Company currently based in the Las Vegas General Office. Originally from the Philippines, she migrated to the United States in 1985 after spending five years working as a nurse in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
In 1996, Jennifer made a pivotal career shift to the insurance industry, joining New York Life as an agent despite having no prior sales experience. Her remarkable talent and commitment quickly became evident; in her first year, she was honored as the “New Agent of the Year” and qualified for the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT). Over the years, she consistently excelled, qualifying for the Executive and President Councils for a decade and repeatedly achieving MDRT status.
Under the mentorship of John T. Baier, Managing Partner at the New Jersey General Office, Jennifer honed her sales and management skills, ultimately becoming a Partner herself. Throughout her 28 years with the New Jersey General Office, she played an instrumental role in the agency’s operations and growth, notably leading the MDRT Mentor/Aspirant Program, which expanded MDRT membership from six to seventy-four members.
In July 2023, Jennifer transitioned to the Las Vegas General Office, where she continues her passion for mentoring and training new agents. Her main responsibilities include recruiting and developing talent to become trusted advisors in the insurance industry, all the while making a positive impact in her new community.
Outside of her professional achievements, Jennifer is actively involved in her community. She has served as the Past President of the Paramus Rotary Club, has been a member of the Board of Directors for Greater Paramus Chamber of Commerce and the Paramus Education Foundation, and is the founder and current President of PRECA (Papaya Residents in Every Coast in America). Additionally, she has held leadership positions within her church and has received several awards for her humanitarian efforts and community service.
Jennifer enjoys the vibrant lifestyle of Lake Las Vegas, where she lives with her two Pomeranians. In her free time, she indulges in hobbies such as golf, hiking, pickleball, and traveling, while also dedicating to volunteer efforts in her community. Jennifer is committed to making a difference in the lives of those she meets both personally and professionally.
