Crystal Nye EBMC, REBC

Benefits Advisor

I graduated from Texas Wesleyan University with a Criminal Justice Degree in 2015 and Sam Houston University with a Master of Science Degree in 2018. A native to Chicago but a Texan by choice. I have been in the employee benefits arena for almost 16 years. I started my career in insurance with a TPA administrating COBRA Benefits for employer groups. Since then, I have worked with a general agency getting to know carriers and their best products, a large agency, and an association. During my time in those environments, I quickly found that my love for helping others, strategic planning and development of processes is what the insurance industry brings to my life. I am an extension of my clients and their business, so I strive to provide nothing less than excellence.

When I am not working, I enjoy giving back to the community, volunteering at women shelters and educating young girls in inner city areas. I enjoy Texas High School Football and watching college football with my husband Walter, our teenage son Devin, and our German Sheppard Duke.
