Gail Harris
Administration
I came to Optimum Financial in 2010 with over 10 years’ of experience in the insurance industry to work within the area of Administration.
Previously, within the insurance industry, my experience was primarily within the areas of accounting and auditing. As part of my responsibilities I interacted with insurance agents to resolve client accounting discrepancies, maintaining financial reports and training. I have also spent time working within the education system as a Teacher’s Aid performing a number of related tasks.
Since joining Optimum Financial I have enjoyed expanding both my education and experience within new areas of the financial and insurance industries.
It has been a pleasure being part of the team at Optimum Financial, particularly in the sense of working with individuals who truly care about others.
