Becky Helmberger joined BetterLife as Agency Manager of the Dakotas Agency in April 2012.

Becky came to BetterLife through her longtime friend and former office manager of the Dakotas Agency, Ruth Doyen. In addition, Becky’s father was a valued insurance agent of the Dakotas Agency until he sadly passed away at age 36. Becky states, “My dad was a very hard worker and well-respected in our community. Even though our time together on Earth was very short, he is my inspiration. It gives me great pride and joy to know he is smiling down on me, and I know he is extremely proud to see me become a part of the BetterLife family.”

With a decade of experience in the life insurance industry and deep roots in the community, Becky is a great asset to the Dakotas Agency team.

Brianna Grissom joined BetterLife as an insurance agent with the Dakotas agency in February 2022. She was attracted to the company because she likes the family feel, and the fact that BetterLife gives back to the community.

Brianna grew up and currently resides in Mitchell, South Dakota. She attended Dakota State University with a focus on elementary education. Brianna has experience working with children and, together with her love of education, is excited to use her skills to teach others, especially the younger generation, the importance of life insurance and being prepared in case the unexpected happens.

In her free time Brianna loves to watch Netflix, spend time with family and friends, and workout. When she’s not doing any of those things, she enjoys reading and researching new topics of interest in order to keep herself educated and informed. A destination on her bucket list is to back pack in Europe.

Brianna’s mom inspires her the most. This is because of her grace, compassion, and empathy she exemplifies through her actions and attitude. She has shown Brianna to never give up, even when things get tough.
