Employee Spotlight – Kellie Lowder

Employee Spotlight – Kellie Lowder

This month’s employee spotlight is on the fabulous Kellie Lowder. She is a Senior Advisor at Engage fi, handling all things insurance-related. Kellie came to work at Engage fi six months ago after witnessing our professionalism and success, and she couldn’t wait to join the team. She is always taking on new challenges and serving clients in the best way possible!

Kellie grew up in Lubbock, Texas, and now resides in Fort Worth. She is a proud graduate of UT Austin. Kellie graduated in 1993, the same year as Mathew McConaughey (so cool!). She also enjoys spending free time with her husband and his two crazy brothers. Kellie and her husband were High School sweethearts and have been inseparable since. In her new home of Fort Worth, she enjoys visiting local museums. Her favorite is the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. In the last decade, she has parachuted twice, once in Texas and once off the Coast of Florida. She truly challenges herself in and out of the office.

Outside the office, Kellie likes to travel, go to Broadway musicals, Rotary Club, and play pool. Kellie’s first vacation to Paris sparked her love for travel; she enjoys new experiences and learning about other cultures. She has now traveled to 49 of the 50 States. And if we didn’t already think Kellie was amazing, for her 40th birthday, she got to sit down and have a cocktail with Jimmy Buffett. She is a superstar on our team.
