Getting to know Kristie Lawrence…
Kristie is an Account Executive in our Commercial Lines department here at Gallen. If you have your business insurance with Gallen, you may have already been lucky enough to speak to Kristie. She specializes in the larger accounts at our agency. We spent a few minutes with her so you can know a little more about someone you work with!
Kristie has been working in the insurance industry for 37 years! After moving to Florida at the age of 22, a friend of a friend knew an insurance company that was hiring. She walked in and was hired on the spot. It was GEICO and she still talks to the woman who hired her to be her insurance “girl”. Kristie has one son and one daughter and one beautiful granddaughter. No pets presently but she does have one grand-dog and 2 grand-cats.
