Penn State Berks alumna Britany LaManna, who earned a degree in communication arts and sciences in 2012, has parlayed the knowledge and skills she acquired at the college into a career in the insurance industry.

She was recognized as a Rising Star in the field by Insurance Business America magazine in December 2022, and she was named to the Millionaires Club 2022 for The Loomis Co., where she has worked for the last 11 years. This award recognizes her success in producing more than $1 million in new property and casualty premiums.

LaManna began her career at The Loomis Co., a national insurance brokerage firm headquartered in Wyomissing, just a few weeks after her college graduation in 2012. Starting as an account executive in commercial property and casualty, LaManna rose to senior executive of strategic accounts in the same division.

Most recently, LaManna was recognized by Insurance Business America magazine in its yearly Rising Stars issue, which honored the top insurance professionals age 35 and under. The publication invited insurance professionals across the U.S. to nominate the most exceptional young talent for its annual Rising Star list. The final list of 59 Rising Stars was determined by a panel of industry leaders.
