In 1992, Tina began her career as the Manager of Flexible Benefits Administration at Buckman Van Buren, a business support services company that provides employee benefits, property and casualty as well as retirement plan services.

Along with helping clients design cafeteria health plans, Tina ensured compliance, resolution of billing and claims issues and communication of benefit programs to employees. Tina moved on to work as a Client Relationship Manager at eBenX, where she specialized in new plan implementation. An industry-leading employee benefits management software company, eBenX was among the first to provide employees with online enrollment and access to benefits information 24/7 while streamlining billing and electronic reporting to carriers.
