Barbara Ortiz-Lee

Welcome to my corner of the internet! As an Oxnard native and proud graduate of Santa Clara High School, I have spent my life in this beautiful community, and I couldn’t be more grateful. After earning my BA in Communications from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, I dedicated 35 years to serving as a State Farm Agent. State Farm offers automobile insurance, life insurance and health insurance. Beyond my professional endeavors, I'm a proud mother of two wonderful young adults and have been happily married for 37 years. I’m passionate about supporting local athletics, particularly local high schools, The Oxnard Farm Park and I support the Food Pantry at Ventura Junior College with an annual food drive.

When I'm not in the office, you can find me mentoring young entrepreneurs, sharing my love for gardening, cooking, and baking, or experimenting with new artisan bread recipes. I believe in the power of community and enjoy entertaining friends and family, creating memories over delicious home-cooked meals. Traveling and exploring new places is another passion of mine, as it inspires creativity and broadens my perspective. I invite you to connect with me and discover how I can help you navigate your insurance needs while sharing a bit of my journey along the way!
