Welcome to Christie Gomes
Meet Christie
Background:
Christie didn’t know it, but when she said yes to a temp job in the insurance industry, she was actually starting a successful career at Durham & Bates.
Among the range of industries and client types Christie supports include non-profit mental health organizations, advertising agencies, and manufacturers.
“No matter what industry, clients value efficiency, personal ethics, and professional experience. It’s important for me to do the best job possible, and to constantly challenge myself to engage in my work at new levels.”
One of Christie’s secret weapons is the fact that she’d previously worked in claims and underwriting, a fact that helps her understand key aspects of insurance at deeper levels.
