About Sarah Thompson
Sarah Thompson is a Senior Insurance Analyst and Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) with more than 14 years of experience in insurance planning and risk management. She holds an MBA in Risk Management and has guided thousands of US households through life, health, auto, home, disability, and long-term care insurance decisions.
Throughout her career, Sarah has worked across both the brokerage and advisory sides of the industry, reviewing policies, modeling coverage scenarios, and translating dense contract language into clear, actionable guidance. Her approach is rooted in the belief that good insurance is not about buying the most coverage — it is about buying the right coverage for your stage of life.
As the lead analyst at MarklyInsurance, Sarah oversees every calculator and guide published on the site. She designs the methodology behind each tool, reviews the assumptions used, and ensures all content reflects current US market conditions and regulatory standards. Her work is independent: MarklyInsurance does not sell insurance and receives no commissions, so her recommendations are built solely around the reader's needs.
Sarah is a member of the National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research and regularly contributes to consumer-education initiatives focused on insurance literacy. She lives in the United States with her family.
