Kathy Powell

My name is Sue Linares. I am of Korean and Mexican descent, born in TX and raised in GA. I have a background in customer service and hospitality and graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta as a Pastry Chef. I am proud to have worked in pastry kitchens for The Ritz Carlton Atlanta, Publix, and Smallcakes. I feel blessed to have found a work-home here at Kathy Powell State Farm. My first career experience was serving and helping people, and I enjoy doing it here on a daily basis. I am licensed to provide customer service for auto insurance, home insurance, renters insurance, life insurance, and more!

I was raised outside of Mobile and first moved to Auburn in 1999. I have an extensive background in customer service and graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Public Administration. When not spending time with my family watching old war movies or attending Auburn sporting events, I enjoy spending time perfecting my barbecue recipes and a few years ago became an official Kansas City BBQ Judge. I look forward to serving and helping you with your insurance needs.

 I am originally from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I attended Oklahoma State University with an emphasis in Business Administration.  I moved to Alabama in early 2016. I am passionate about people and have a drive to see others succeed.  I look forward to working with our customers to help them recover from the unexpected and reach their financial goals. My hobbies include sports, cooking and working with my hands. I am a proud father and husband and devoted believer in Our Lord Jesus Christ.

My name is Dasha Andrews, and I am super proud to be a part of such an amazing team! I was born and raised in the beautiful town of Auburn and never see myself leaving. I worked in the customer care field for quite some time before I was introduced to the world of insurance. Working in the insurance industry and being able to help and service my Auburn family is one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. I feel there is no better place to do that than here at KPSF where I feel at home. Outside of work, I enjoy baking, gardening, watching football (War Eagle), spending time with my family and friends, and doing DIY projects around the home.  I look forward to growing with the KPSF team and servicing and sharing my knowledge with this awesome community.   

My name is Kellen Amble. I am originally from Illinois where I attended Illinois State University and graduated with a degree in Business Management. I moved to Auburn during the summer of 2021. I have a passion for working with and helping others achieve their goals. I have found that there is no better place to work than Kathy Powell’s office that directly aligns with my passion of helping others. During my free time I love to workout and, weather permitting, to get outside in the sunshine and go for hikes and swims.  

I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and later attended the University of South Carolina where I earned my degree in English. Since graduating in 2014, I have always worked in a customer serving role. I started my career at Kathy Powell State Farm in 2018 and have loved serving the people of Auburn, Opelika, and surrounding areas with all of their insurance needs. In my free time I enjoy playing disc golf, pickleball, going on runs, playing with my dog, and just about anything else that will get me outside!
