Talisha Garrett
Customer Relations Representative
License #40712445
My name is Talisha. I am honored to assist our community with insurance that I know and is held to the highest regard. My parents are insured with State Farm, and when it was time to branch off with my family, we continued with State Farm. I worked for a State Farm Agency in Sylacauga Alabama for about two and a half years before moving to Apple Valley Minnesota. My main goal every day is to provide the excellent customer service that I expect in my own personal experiences. The Golden Rule is my reference.
My family is my greatest accomplishment. I have been married to my husband for 20 years, and we have five wonderful children. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with the family. We enjoy attending church, traveling, attending sporting events, family movie nights, trying new restaurants, and anything that involves being together and having fun.
I am licensed in property and casualty, and it would be my pleasure to assist you and your family with your insurance needs. I look forward to meeting you! Please don’t forget to check out our google reviews to hear more about our office!

Jamie Tveitbakk
Account Manager
License #40509318
My name is Jamie. I grew up in Chisago City and have lived in the Apple Valley/Lakeville area for 16 years. I graduated from Bethel University with a degree in Psychology. I enjoy spending my free time with my two beautiful kids and wife by going on walks, going to the parks and zoo, traveling, and taking hiking adventures on the north shore. We also enjoy watching all Minnesota sports teams.
One thing most people don't know about me is I have completed running 35 marathons, so I know very well about endurance and getting across the finish line. That determination and persistency flows into my passion for helping others. My interpersonal skills and outstanding problem-solving abilities allow me to see the big picture for our customers so I can provide you with needs-based options for all the risk life may throw your way. My inspiration each day when I come to the office is to help you achieve your life goals.
I am in my ninth year at the agency and I'm licensed in all lines of protection including auto, home, life, health and business insurance. Call our office today to speak with me about everything State Farm can offer you! Please don’t forget to check out our google reviews to hear more about our office!

Office Representative
My name is Ethan. I was previously an intern while attending St. John's University and studying economics. I recently graduated and will be coming on full time this summer as I acquire all of my insurance licenses to better assist our community here in the greater south metro area. More about me -- I grew up in Apple Valley and have lived here my entire life. I have an older brother and sister. My brother also went to and recently graduated from St. John's University as well.
In my free time, I enjoy watching sports games, fishing and hanging out with friends. Some things that I find important are spending time with family and friends, relaxing and spending time on the lake.

Emily Sandoval
Customer Service Representative
License #41038693
Hi, I’m Emily! I grew up in Minnesota and now live in the south metro area. After graduating high school, I spent time working at a theme park in Florida before studying anthropology and music at CSU Pueblo in Colorado. I eventually returned to Minnesota, where I built a career in logistics and customer service, developing strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
Helping people has always been my passion. I’m licensed in Property & Casualty insurance and enjoy building relationships, addressing needs, and helping customers feel informed, prepared, and confident in protecting what matters most.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me serving at church, leading our church run club, training for races, or enjoying hot yoga. I also love exploring Minnesota with my son, Daniel, and my German Shepherd, Koda. I like discovering new coffee shops, bookstores, and farmers markets. Serving as a youth leader and using photography and media to support my church are some of the most meaningful parts of my life. Big fan of Minnesota sports from my son’s high school team to the Vikings and everything in-between.
I look forward to getting to know you and helping you protect what matters most. Whether you need auto, home, or other insurance coverage, I’m here to help.
