UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 5, 2025 / Marquis Who's Who recognizes Nicole Vacila for her leadership in health insurance with inclusion in its prestigious Top Executive listing. As an independent agent, Ms. Vacila is dedicated to helping individuals obtain personalized health insurance solutions. This recognition highlights her unwavering commitment to guiding clients through complex insurance decisions with empathy, knowledge and professionalism.
Early Career and Education
Ms. Vacila's career journey began with a desire to serve others. "I've been looking for ways to help people my entire life," she says. This lifelong desire to help others influenced her vocational choices.
While a sophomore in high school, Ms. Vacila attended night school to become a nurse aide. After graduating, she expanded her skill set by working as an emergency medical technician (EMT), however, she remained eager to expand her professional growth. "After that, I went back to school to become a medical assistant," she says.
In 1998, Ms. Vacila completed a medical assistant program at Morse School of Business. The training provided her with hands-on experience at local doctor's offices and hospitals. These early roles would set the stage for her future entry into the insurance sector.
Transition Into the Insurance Industry
In 2017, Ms. Vacila began working as an independent insurance agent. Despite her natural inclination to help people, working as a licensed agent posed a new challenge. Due to her shy personality, her new career got off to a slow start, but she gradually overcame her shyness to build a thriving career.
Within just four months, Ms. Vacila caught the attention of corporate leaders. Recognizing her dedication and hard work, they presented her with the esteemed First Year Credits Award.
A Client Advocate Who Cares
After becoming an independent agent, Ms. Vacila garnered a reputation for her approach to insurance enrollment. Her focus is on understanding a client's health, hopes and fears. "Health insurance is very personalized, and it takes somebody who understands a person's needs," she said.
Ms. Vacila wants every client to know how they're covered. As a specialist in health, life, Medicare, supplemental and group insurance policies, she makes it a point to educate clients about their coverage details. "That way, when the time comes, they can focus on healing themselves instead of getting stressed out about insurance," she said.
Empathy in a Time of Need
Ms. Vacila has a unique perspective on her career. "To me, it's not a job," she says. "I don't believe in sales." When people face difficult times, they often feel overwhelmed when making insurance decisions. She knows what that's like from firsthand experience.
This empathy led her to offer free consultations. Ms. Vacila doesn't want anyone to face these life-changing decisions alone. Even if she's answering a simple question, every interaction reassures people. "You can be in hard times and still get the advice and attention that you need," she said. "Sometimes I specialize in insurance and sometimes I specialize in assurance." This holistic approach has earned her the trust of countless clients.
Community Involvement and Future Goals
Civic engagement is another cornerstone of Ms. Vacila's career. From 2012 to 2013, she founded and operated the 5 Dollar Donation Foundation. It was a charitable initiative designed to support local causes. Today, she continues volunteering with local charities.
In 2025 and beyond, Ms. Vacila looks forward to continuous improvement, aiming to master group insurance and Medicare. This commitment to professional development exemplifies Ms. Vacila's heartfelt desire to help those in need.
