Cindy received her Bachelor’s Degree in International Business and Marketing from California State University at Long Beach. She is passionate about helping people protect their greatest assets – their health and financial wellbeing. For more than two decades, Cindy has worked in a variety of roles with nonprofits and foundations dedicated to enabling individuals and communities to thrive at different stages in their lives, which included helping people earn college degrees, become entrepreneurs, and achieve the dream of homeownership.

Cindy became a fully-licensed life and health insurance agent with a focus on providing education and awareness about complicated insurance options so that Medicare recipients can make an informed decision about which plan is best for their unique needs. As a native Spanish speaker, Cindy served as First American Corporation’s spokesperson and Public Relations contact for Spanish-language media. She also managed FAC’s homeownership foundation, serving as the primary point of contact for nonprofit partners.

Cindy is passionate about providing education to Medicare recipients, breaking down often complicated and overwhelming information into smaller, easier-to-understand modules. She enjoys staying connected with her clients and becoming your ally on your Medicare journey as well as your primary point of contact for all your Medicare questions.

She has been married to her husband Carlos for almost 20 years, has 3 daughters and one dog. Cindy loves the outdoors, whether it be hiking, at the beach, or in the mountains, nature is her zen place. She also loves to travel and prefers to not visit the same place twice to provide her daughters with a broader view of the world.

Cynthia has her Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry and Biology. She planned on going into medicine, but decided that raising her children was more important. She has been serving people since her very first job, tutoring fellow students in junior high.  Cynthia became a licensed insurance agent in 2010. Her early years were spent selling final expense insurance, where she built a large client base of wonderful people.  Cynthia transitioned to health and Medicare products about 4 years ago. Her specialty is Medicare Advantage plans; she offers other products as well. She is contracted with all the major companies and some local ones, also. She is new to Bridlewood Insurance, and believes the company reflects her desire to serve clients with excellence.

Cynthia has a passion for helping people find the right product, save money and serve their best interests. She enjoys regular contact with her clients and is available to answer plan related questions throughout the year.  “In Medicare, annual reviews do not mean taking more money out of the household the way life insurance products do. Life insurance is essential and loved ones benefit from the decision to buy it. However, there are no immediate financial benefits to it. Medicare Advantage plans, when properly recommended, save clients money immediately. It is a joy to help clients achieve the results they need from their health plan.”

Born and raised in California’s Inland Empire, Cynthia lives just a few miles from the house her grandparents built in the 1940s. She has 3 grown children, who are
her pride and joy. She doesn’t mind saying she sometimes lives vicariously through them! Her oldest son is a mental health attorney, her daughter is in the navy, and her youngest son, a former Peace Corps volunteer, works for the US Department of Fish and Wildlife. No parent could be more proud. Cynthia has pets, enjoys gardening, and works on projects in her home. She is a “Jane of All Trades, Mistress of None!” She plays the piano and violin and enjoys international travel. She likes to snorkel and is getting her scuba diving certification.

Sarah became a licensed Medicare Insurance agent because of her passion for helping others. For six years prior to obtaining her license, she was a lead preschool teacher at a private preschool in Santee, CA. She believes in exceptional service and strives for excellence when guiding others. Whether working with the over 65 community or the under 6 her patience shines through.

As an agent with Bridlewood, Sarah can walk you through what Medicare is, the different parts of Medicare, and what your options are for supplemental insurance to take care of costs that Medicare doesn’t cover. By going through the items that are important to you – your doctors, specific health concerns, prescription medications, traveling to or living in different areas of the state or country, etc. – she can help educate you on all the various plans that are available so that you can confidently make the choice of the most appropriate plan to meet your needs.

Born and raised in Sacramento, CA, Sarah received her Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership from Robert Morris University. She also received her Paralegal certificate from Washington Learning Institute and her Early Childhood Education teaching credentials from UCLA.

Medicare Agent

Clara was born in Panama and is married to Vicente Gill, also of Panama and USN Retired. We are active members of Mission Hills Church, in San Marcos, CA. My husband and I have two adult sons and four beautiful grandchildren. My granddaughters enjoy tea parties, and my grandsons enjoy exploring the backyard. I enjoy reading, gardening, travel, and spending precious time with our grands. I am fluent in English and Spanish. My favorite TV shows are anything HGTV and The Good Doctor. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked in mortgage servicing and retail banking, and since 1999, in financial services. I focus on retirement strategies, and maximizing the financial component of “quality of life” in retirement.
Although health coverage was an important part of my practice, I referred my clients for their Medicare needs. Today I see the value of helping senior adults obtain the right coverage at any age because Medicare is an important part of that “quality of life” in retirement, and an important service for me to provide.

My clients have come to expect warm personal attention, and professional, suitable advice. My desire is to give independent and unbiased recommendations, make available a variety of products, and provide the best service possible. My greatest satisfaction comes from the success of each client and the long-term relationship we develop.
