Rhonda Gillis of Union joined our personal insurance team in 2020.

A native of Jefferson, Gillis is a graduate of the University of Maine. She began her work life as a teacher, before moving to Nashville as a musician and owner of a tour bus company.

Rhonda says: “The best moments happen when my customers have an ah-hah moment and understand something to do with their own policies and risks that didn’t make any sense to them before our conversation. Who says teaching is only in a classroom?”

Outside of work, Gillis enjoys spending time with her children and grandchildren.
