Hello and welcome to the Michelle Marks, State Farm Agency page! We appreciate you wanting to get to know us a bit better so here's a little information about our office and how we can help make your experience a fantastic one!!!
My Background
Growing up in the Bay Area and having the opportunity to work in a variety of industries such as retail management, cosmetic artistry, employment recruitment, and finance, I knew I wanted my career path to be one in which I could help people every day and make a difference in their lives, no matter how the economy and markets were performing. So, when my family and I moved to Redding, CA in May of 2007, I felt compelled to begin my journey as a professional insurance agent.
By January of 2008, I became licensed in both Life & Health insurance and have been licensed in Property & Casualty insurance since 2012 and was part of another successful State Farm Agent's office for over three years before getting the opportunity to run my own book of business. The Michelle Marks, State Farm Insurance Agency opened in January of 2016, yet we have over 30 years of combined State Farm Team Member experience in my office! I'm proud to say that my team and I are continually staying up to date on industry trends and deepening our insurance knowledge through continued education so that we are prepared for when our customers need us most.
In addition to my insurance licenses, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from California State University Sacramento, which has provided me with a unique perspective on understanding and connecting with people.
Being a dedicated State Farm Agent here in the vibrant community of Redding, CA has been incredibly rewarding both personally and professionally! However, my ultimate fulfillment comes from being a mother to my only son, and a wife of over 22 years to my hubby. Getting to live here in the North State and the beautiful surrounding areas of our community has been a dream come true and are very proud to call Redding our home!
Our Agency and What We Do...
In my role as Agent and agency owner, I believe it is crucial to support and train my team so that collectively our agency can provide a comprehensive range of insurance services by ensuring your loved ones' financial security by creating a plan to protect you and your family with the right coverage. My team and I are eager to help those in the areas of Redding, Anderson, Palo Cedro, Shasta Lake, Cottonwood, Red Bluff, Corning, and Mt. Shasta, CA to name a few.
Moreover, the Michelle Marks, State Farm Agency focuses on auto insurance, catering to a variety of vehicles such as motorcycles, trail and dirt bikes, ATV's and UTV's, as well as motor homes and trailers. You can depend on our office to help you select the coverage that suits your specific needs, so that you can enjoy your time on the road and worry less about the unexpected! Speaking of the unexpected, our team is not afraid to ask the tough questions about your current life and health insurance plans and what it would look like if you could no longer work, pay your bills, or even worse, pass away. We want to help you uncover those needs and see to it that you and your family are set up for financial security for years to come.
Community Involvement
Outside of my professional endeavors, I am actively involved in my community and a proud member of the North State Cancer League since 2010, as well as a dedicated member/dancer/performer of the Cascade Theatre Company from 2010-2019, and most recently back on stage this fall of 2024! Additionally, I am honored to serve as a Board Member of the University Preparatory School Musical Foundation since 2019, supporting the growth and development of young talent in the arts. I also take great pride in giving back to the thriving sports community that we have here in Shasta County by sponsoring various school teams and programs. I'm a big believer in what being part of a team can do for our youth by teaching teamwork, leadership skills and overcoming challenges by working together to achieve a common goal!
As a member of Business Network International (BNI) through the Redding Rockstar Referral Chapter, and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), I am committed to building strong professional relationships and helping be part of a strong core of local business owners where integrity and service to others is our focus.

July 2025
National Insurance Awareness Month:
As a State Farm agent, I love how the summer season brings families and friends together to enjoy barbecues, outdoor concerts, fireworks, and all the fun that the season has to offer. It’s such a special time to make memories, relax, and celebrate with the people you care about most. Whether you’re spending time at the park, hosting a cookout, or simply soaking up the sunshine, summer is all about enjoying those moments that bring us closer.
At the Michelle Marks, State Farm agency, we truly appreciate our customers and the confidence you place in us to protect what matters most. We’re here to help you stay safe and enjoy all that this summer has to offer!
Therefore, it's essential to ensure that you, your loved ones, home, vehicle, and assets are adequately protected during significant life events. Take the time to evaluate your insurance policies in the following situations: • When your existing policies are nearing expiration • If there are changes in your family dynamics • When your children reach driving age • If you relocate or renovate your home • When you launch a new business • If your job situation changes • When you plan for retirement
Whether you're looking forward to family road trips, outdoor gatherings, or simply enjoying the beauty of our glorious North State area, my team and I are here to ensure that you have the coverage you need for all of life's journeys. We understand that each season comes with its own unique challenges and joys, and we take pride in being your partner through it all.
