Maria Villaseñor joined Heritage Insurance Agency in January 2021 as a Senior Agribusiness Account Manager. Bringing over 30 years of industry experience, she offers deep expertise in serving Agricultural and Commercial clients. Growing up in the Central Valley of California, Maria developed a lifelong passion for agriculture and the hardworking people devoted to it. This deep-rooted connection to the farming community led her to our door, and we knew immediately she was a perfect fit for our team.

Maria grounds both her professional and personal life in the core values of hard work, accountability, and respect for all. Outside the office, she balances her great appreciation for food with a highly active lifestyle. You can often find her walking, bicycling, hiking, playing tennis, softball, bowling, or riding her scooter—anything that keeps her outdoors and moving. When she is not exploring outside, Maria is an avid DIYer. Her home proudly showcases a wide array of projects she has built and completed entirely on her own.

Above all, Maria has a profound love for animals and shares her home with many of them. She believes in showing respect to both humans and animals alike. As a true zoophilist, Maria perfectly embodies the quote: “Animal lovers are a special breed of human, generous of spirit, full of empathy, and with hearts as big as a cloudless sky.”
