Gail retired at the end of 2021 after a 34-year career with a major insurance company. Throughout her tenure, she managed teams across various departments, including personal and commercial underwriting, education, and customer retention. Gail also played a key role in organizing events and campaigns that encouraged employees to volunteer, partnering with organizations such as March of Dimes, Second Harvest, and Paint Your Heart Out.

Once Gail retired, she dedicated herself to supporting her mother during her battle with cancer, managing care and transportation alongside her siblings. Navigating the complexities of medication and care was an eye-opening experience, and Gail is now eager to use what she learned to help others.
