MEET DEIRDRE VIRGALLA
Founder & Licensed Agent:
With over 25 years of experience in the insurance industry and more than 8 years specializing in Medicare, I've dedicated my career to helping individuals and families navigate the often-confusing world of health insurance with clarity, confidence, and care. As a licensed insurance agent, I believe that exceptional customer service, education, and compassion are essential to providing the kind of support clients truly deserve. Whether you're new to Medicare or exploring ACA health plans, my goal is to guide you through your options with honesty and personalized attention-so you can make the best decisions for your health and your future.
The name Teelin Insurance holds special meaning for me. It was inspired by the beautiful village where my mother was born, Teelin, Donegal a fishing village in Ireland. It's a tribute to my roots and a reminder of the values of community, integrity, and care that I bring to every client relationship.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Southern Connecticut State University, which laid the foundation for my commitment to service and advocacy. I'm also proud to be an active Rotarian, dedicated to giving back to my community.
Today, I live in Oxford, CT with my husband, our two children, our two beloved German Shepherds and my 17 year old cat. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, walking my dogs, swimming, and spending quality time with my family and friends.
