Our Licensed Insurance Agents

Edward Strohm | Licensed Insurance Agent

As a longtime resident of Florida, I'm proud to serve Apopka, FL, and the surrounding areas as your local insurance agent. With over 41 years of industry experience, I have built my agency in line with a great reputation and a clear focus on addressing my clients' needs. I have been around long enough to recognize that people want someone they can trust, are transparent, make good recommendations, and talk in plain English. Therefore, I will guide you through the insurance process to ensure that you are properly educated on your coverage options.

Maria Christina | Licensed Insurance Agent

Hi, I’m Maria Christina. I’m a licensed 220 insurance agent with over 12 years of customer service experience and 7 years working directly in the insurance field. I’m also bilingual, which allows me to support and connect with a wide range of clients. In addition to insurance, I’m a licensed real estate professional and truly enjoy building relationships and developing trust with those around me. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my three labradoodles: Bruce, Tony, and Boleighta.

Angela Baker | Licensed Insurance Agent

My name is Angela Baker. I have my Florida 2-20 General Lines Agent License and have been working in insurance since January 2008. I sort of fell into the industry, but quickly realized I'm great as an agent and decided to make this my career!

I graduated from USF with my bachelor’s degree in Interpersonal and Organizational Communications in December 2007. I think that because of my degree, it’s helped me to understand and empathize with my clients on a level that most cannot. I also truly care about what’s best for my client and making sure they know I’m here for them.

In my spare time I enjoy working out, camping, and most weekends I’m either at a music show or festival!

Kathy Pidany | Licensed Insurance Agent

My name is Kathy Pidany. I've worked for Edward Strohm since 2019. I currently have a customer service license through the state of Florida. I've been in the insurance industry since 1985. I previously was an automobile claims adjuster and property damage claim adjuster in Florida. After 20 years of handling claims, I decided to educate people about their coverage and their policies before they had a claim and became a Customer Service Representative.  I love sunshine, the beach, laughter, and being around positive people.

Rachel Strohm | Business Development

Hi, my name is Rachel Strohm. I bring 20 years of customer service experience and 10 years in management to the agency. I’m passionate about blending modern business development strategies and tech-forward thinking with our agency’s strong foundation. Currently working toward my 220 license, I’m focused on preparing to lead the business into the future.

Together with my father, we’re committed to continuous learning, meaningful networking, and evolving our approach to provide the best insurance solutions available. We believe in the power of local, independent agencies and are dedicated to serving our clients with integrity, transparency, and a forward-looking mindset.

As a born and raised Floridian, I enjoy spending my time outdoors, movies, reading and exploring the Orlando Culinary scene.
