Dara Kirk

Senior Account Manager | Commercial Lines

Dara’s journey into the insurance industry began in 2008 when she started as a Customer Service Representative at Weaver Insurance in her hometown. This role eventually evolved into a licensed agent position. Prior to that, she had worked at M&T Mortgage Division, handling construction loan disbursements, but after the company relocated its operations to Buffalo, NY, she transitioned into insurance and hasn’t looked back.

Dara’s approach to insurance is rooted in clear communication and thorough understanding. She believes in asking the right questions upfront to ensure the insured is fully informed and that additional requests for information are minimized. This proactive method helps create a smoother process for both the client and the agent.

With a diverse background, Dara has gained extensive experience in Personal Lines, Commercial Lines, and Farm & Crop Insurance. She further expanded her expertise by earning the Commercial Lines Coverage Specialist (CLCS) designation from Hartford School of Insurance.

Outside of her insurance career, Dara’s passion for the marine world led her to pursue a career as a Marine Biologist in another life, showcasing her deep love for nature and science. Her well-rounded experience and dedication to serving her clients make her a valuable asset in the insurance industry.
