About me

Hi! I'm State Farm Agent, Jen Wilkes. I started with State Farm corporate as an intern while in college at the age of 19. Because of my role as an intern in the Agency Field Office I was able to attend monthly Agent meetings where I was able to hear stories and testimonies about the good these agents were doing in their communities and how their actions helped change the lives of their customers for the better. I decided I wanted to be a part of that....to be able to leave a legacy of giving back to my family, my customers and my community. We are here in service of our customers and community. We believe that givers gain and want to be a force for good in the lives of our customers. We have needs based conversations with each customer to make sure we are uncovering gaps and customizing coverage to their needs. I enjoy spending time with my family (I am married to Jason and we have 6 Children (ages 23, 20, 18, 18, 12 and 7) and a 5 year old Labradoodle named Bob Ross). We live in Lexington, SC. I am from Florence, SC and graduated from the University of South Carolina with a B.S. in Business Administration. I have over 26 years of experience with State Farm. I enjoy reading, traveling, shopping and trying new things.

Why Choose Us

My journey into this profession began at 19 as a college intern, directly witnessing how agents profoundly supported their communities and improved customers' lives.
