Suzanne Gilbert joined our company in 2020 to help our team provide an extra level of service to our Medicare and individual health insurance clients.

Her previous work experience as a preschool teacher and buyer’s assistant at Reny’s set her up well for the level of care and detail required by her work for Allen.

“I love helping people. It’s that simple,” says Suzanne.

A native of Bremen, Suzanne lives in Damariscotta. When she’s not at work she enjoys spending time with family and friends, doing home improvement or DIY projects, hiking, attending festivals & craft fairs and attending the sporting events of her three grandchildren.
