Jose Molina

Owner
I founded Molina Insurance Group in 2016, and since then it has become one of the premier independent insurance brokerages in the Pacific Northwest. We specialize in working with the Hispanic and Latinx community, a cause that’s near and dear to me: My family moved to the US from Guatemala in 1994 and I saw firsthand how difficult it was for my mom to acclimate to life here. From there, I promised I’d do whatever I could to help people just like her. I was the first person in his family to graduate college, and when I started MIG I wanted to do more than just sell insurance – I wanted to help educate people and take care of them. When I’m not at work, I spend most of my time in my beautiful Hillsboro home with my wife, Ana, and our newborn baby Diana. We have two huskies, Ghost and Miska, who I love taking to the dog park or on hikes. I’m also a proud Portland Timbers season ticket holder.

Jenny Herrera

Service
I have a background in technology and management which helped me secure a position at MIG, but what attracted me the most was having the daily opportunity to make a difference in our Latino communities. I love to learn and teach. I am passionate about making a difference in everyone's lives, no matter if they’re customers or employees. I love to go hiking, kayaking, and water rafting. I have two dogs: my sweet malamute, Meyka, and my diva husky, Snowy. Along with them are our red ear slider turtle, Shelly, and a kitty named Tamalito that I share with my sister. I am happily engaged, with wedding bells set around Summer 2022, and I have a wonderful nine year old named Austin.

Ashley Torrez Ruiz

Personal Lines Manager
I used to work at Taco Bell before coming here. When I interviewed, I mentioned that I was over my fast food job and was looking for a new career opportunity. I had no insurance or office background/experience prior to MIG, but I was determined to learn and grow and I will forever thank MIG for giving me a chance. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my daughter. She loves arcades, parks, and taking half of the toy aisle when we go shopping. If we’re not out and about, we’re home watching Netflix and having snacks.

Lizbeth Perez

Service
My sister is the one who referred me to Molina Insurance Group. I worked as a caregiver for almost 8 years, but she thought there was something better out there for me. It’s now 4 months later and I am still learning and loving my job here. My goal is eventually to become a Life Agent – a goal that will be achieved. When I am not here, I love to watch good movies and eat popcorn with my son. He is 3 years old, growing and learning everyday. We also own a little ferret named Benito. I also love reading, especially poetry; r.h. Sin is my favorite author. Coffee is also my best friend. Can't live without it 🙂

Ricardo Lopez

Producer
I previously worked at Allstate for 4 years and I have a background in Management and Public Relations. Another Agent here (Cesar) introduced me to Jose and I loved the idea of working with people in our Spanish community. It serves as a way to prosper together, both for myself as a professional and for my hard-working people. I was born in Forest Grove and am a Conrelius native, with roots from Pancho Villa, Michoacan. I’m the middle child of 3, have a background in psych, and currently ongoing in aviation. On the weekends, I work with my dad in landscaping, and I happily live in Tigard with my wife Nancy and our dog Benji. Outside of work, I love music (both playing and seeing live), exercising, nature, repairing and collecting watches, building things with my hands, spending time with loved ones, bringing positivity to people around me, and memes.. can't forget the memes. I’m also both a vegan and a beer connoisseur. Speaking of music, Fun Fact: I have a guitar with my dog Benji and his cousin Casper's portrait hand painted and custom made. Worth EVERY PENNY.
