Hayley

Hayley Brannon

Agent
Hi! My name is Hayley and I’m an eclectic 33-year-old woman who is a walking juxtaposition. I graduated from the University of South Carolina Upstate and played softball for the majority of my life. I am obsessed with houseplants and Art. I love being an insurance professional by day and a tattooist by night. Tattooing gives me the space I need to express my creativity in a measurable way. I deeply enjoy experiencing new places and faces so if you are looking for an agent that can meet you on your level, you’re in the right place!
Sheena

Sheena Wood

Marketing

Hi there! My name is Sheena. I am the person you typically see in your email. What can I say? I love communication! I have been a part of this extraordinary establishment since 2018; it is truly a special place. My job here at Carolina’s Choice Insurance Agency is to ensure credibility by building brand awareness & make sure you are up to date on important information. To my fellow co-workers, I am the person they run from because more than likely I am going to bat my eyes and ask, “want to make a reel?”

Now, let’s peek into my personal life. I was born in Virginia and moved to Spartanburg at age 5. I am an early graduate of Byrnes High and attended postsecondary in Kansas. I have my certification in Digital Marketing & enjoy creating Ads. I have two amazing young sons who are my world and a forever 4-year-old daughter whose years were tragically cut short. I enjoy all sports, coaching competitive cheerleading, playing flag football, and writing. I draw inspiration in life from every person I come into contact with and believe there is beauty in all people, places and things.

Nicci

Nicci Smith

Agent
Hey y’all, I’m Nicci. I was born & Raised in TN, moved to SC in 2017. Insurance fell into my lap in May of that year, and I was immediately in love with it! I have always enjoyed talking with and helping people; what better way to help someone than to be the person who makes sure their EVERYTHING is protected against all the “what ifs” life throws at us?

I love having the opportunity to build real relationships with my customers, and get to know them so that I know how to help protect what they’ve worked their whole lives to build from being taken away in one catastrophic incident. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my Yorkie, Riley; and hobbies also include nail art and cooking/baking. In a former life, I was a professional cake decorator, and still throw something together from time to time just for fun or a friend’s birthday or wedding. Other than that, I’m just simply a country girl who still believes there’s good in almost everything… Sometimes you just have to look at it with the right pair of glasses!
