Julie M. Brousseau
FSS, CLU,  LUTCF



Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Julie moved to Gales Ferry, Connecticut in January 1991. 

She has been involved in the insurance industry since 1985. A background in accounting has been a great asset in dealing with a multitude of client situations. A desire to educate others to enable them to make informed decisions is well received by her clients at Hourglass Insurance Services, while she continues to further her own education to provide better service.
