Here at The Whorton Agency, we take pride in being a local, family-owned business, and that extends to our employees that truly feel like family. Take a few minutes to get to know our talented team.

ABIGAIL WHORTON

Chief Operating Officer

Abigail Whorton graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Journalism, Public Relations in 2014. In the years before joining our team in July 2018, she worked in public relations at a boutique beauty and lifestyle firm in New York, in digital marketing at a global healthcare company in Alpharetta and with web services at The University of West Georgia right here in Carrollton. And if you hadn't guessed, she's the oldest daughter of our agency's Founder, Bill Whorton.

In her two years with the team prior to his passing, she worked closely with her father as both the Marketing & Public Relations Coordinator and a fully licensed Insurance Specialist to best prepare for the future of The Whorton Agency, Inc., which will remain largely unchanged. Our promise of Better Service, Better Value and Better Choice remains the same. For now and for years to come, she and our entire team will continue to honor his legacy with the work that we do for you, our clients.

On a lighter note, she has a mild obsession with her Chihuahua, reads all the books she can, travels as often as her time and wallet allow, and loves any opportunity to make a difference, big or small, in the lives around her.
