Robin Monsky

Robin Monsky has been lighting up conversations, asking questions, listening closely and solving problems for longer than she’d like to admit – but it’s what she does best!

Whether she’s guiding federal employees on how to understand their benefits and prepare for successful retirement in her current role as a Federal Retirement Consultant for Gateway FRC and Postal Blue Book Help or working her magic behind the scenes in sports media relations in her prior career, Robin’s superpower is simple: real connection.

Robin has a gift for turning strangers into friends. Her knack for pinpointing what someone needs – often before they even know it themselves – and clearly communicating otherwise complex or misunderstood information – allows her to build trust quickly so that people see the value in what she has to offer. That’s a skill that has made her an indispensable asset in every role she’s had.

Since joining the insurance and financial industry in 2020, she has been on a mission to
educate people on getting the most out of their benefits and providing peace of mind that they are on the right track for a comfortable future.

Before her transition to insurance, Monsky’s sports career was equally impressive – four
decades that included work at countless marquee events like six Super Bowls, four World Series, the 1996 Olympic Games, Davis Cup Finals and The Chicago Marathon and to name a few. Her energy and positivity helped keep athletes, staff, and media on point and smiling – even when the pressure was on.

A proud Cornhusker born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Robin has lived in downtown Chicago since 1995. You’ll often find her cheering on her favorite teams, grooving to live jazz, catching the latest theater stage production or mixing up a tasty craft cocktail – usually surrounded by good friends and great conversations.
