Erin LaPlante State Farm office now open
Crookston Times
Erin LaPlante’s dream of owning her own business came true this week when she opened her new State Farm insurance office in downtown Crookston. She was welcomed by her two employees, Jennifer Larson and Sandy Perkins, who remained in the office after Courtney Pulkrabek’s departure.
LaPlante told the Times that she visited with a recruiter back in January 2020 and then took time to learn more about State Farm’s vision and mission before her August interview followed by the start of an internship in October.
“The workshop weeks were all virtual, but are typically held in Atlanta,” she explained. “I finished my 20 weeks of learning Sunday and opened the office Monday.”
