Wendy Gill
@wendygill
Administrative and client service professional transitioning into insurance with a focus on accuracy and care.
What I'm looking for
I’m an administrative and client service professional with over 20 years of experience in financial services, post-secondary administration, confidential client support, and customer relations. I’m known for professionalism, accuracy, discretion, and for communicating complex information clearly and compassionately.
Throughout my roles, I’ve supported clients with account-related inquiries, payment processing and reconciliation, and confidential records management. I also bring travel insurance exposure from advising clients on coverage options and policy considerations, while managing client requests, deadlines, and sensitive information.
Now, I’m seeking to transition into the insurance industry and pursue Alberta insurance licensing—bringing strong customer service, policy and procedure interpretation, and conflict-resolution skills to help people make informed decisions with confidence.
