“I’m competing…with the big boys and I decided that I really like it”
Patience Noah (pictured) chose to pursue her American Dream through the insurance industry.
Noah arrived with her family from Liberia in 2003 when she was 14. Fleeing a civil war in their home country, they settled in Framingham, Mass., about 20 minutes outside of Boston.
Even as a teenager, she knew she wanted to own a business one day. She just didn’t know in which profession. She attended the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth and earned a degree in marketing.
