worked her way up to man­age­ment with a focus on Membership
Admin­is­tra­tion. She is skilled in inter­pret­ing ben­e­fits for customers
and mak­ing sure they under­stand how their plan works. Pri­or to
join­ing Arrow, she was an Account Man­ag­er ser­vic­ing small to

years. She joined Arrow Ben­e­fits Group in April 2021 as an
Account Man­ag­er. She is a North Bay native with strong
busi­ness and fam­i­ly roots in the area. Pri­or to being in
insur­ance, she’d been a human resources pro­fes­sion­al, which
makes her a great HR sup­port for her clients. Cori and her
hus­band pre­vi­ous­ly start­ed a well-revered edu­ca­tion technology
company.

Agid Velasquez | Dig­i­tal Ser­vices Manager

Agid began his jour­ney in the insur­ance world in 2015 as a Web
Project Coor­di­na­tor for a North Bay prop­er­ty casu­al­ty bro­ker. His
role was to imple­ment tech­nol­o­gy and dig­i­tal plat­forms to better
serve clients and stream­line inter­nal process­es. In this time, he
gained a greater under­stand­ing of ben­e­fits administration
plat­forms, insur­ance prac­tices and pro­ce­dures, and also obtained
his life and health insur­ance license. He joined Arrow in February
2021, as the Dig­i­tal Ser­vices Man­ag­er, where he is work­ing to use
his knowl­edge and expe­ri­ence to merge insur­ance and technology
 and advance Arrow as a 21st centu­ry bro­ker­age firm.

the Bay Area — she grew up in Half Moon Bay and grad­u­at­ed from
Sky­line Col­lege with an Asso­ciate Degree in Lib­er­al Arts.

Chelsea Parks | Asso­ciate Account Manager

With the many dif­fer­ent roles tak­en on over the years, Chelsea
Parks has gained a wealth of knowl­edge in the employ­ee benefits
indus­try. She began her career in employ­ee ben­e­fits assist­ing with
mem­ber­ship, eli­gi­bil­i­ty, and claims issues. She knows how to best
nav­i­gate the car­ri­ers to obtain the desired results and was able to
use this knowl­edge to assist with quot­ing and renewals.  She later
moved into an account man­age­ment posi­tion spe­cial­iz­ing in both
large and small group ben­e­fits. After a short break from the
ben­e­fits world to be with her new­born daugh­ter, Chelsea joined
Arrow in April 2021.
