Meet The Team - Cristina Vidal da Gama

Q: What do you like best about working with J Finance?

A: I love being part of a fun, dedicated group of people, each unique, but together the company has a great family feel. I enjoy having the chance to build relationships with our clients and work on my own tasks and duties. In addition, I love to be involved in the whole process of mortgage applications and provide the best service for both the advisers and our clients.

Q: Describe your typical day

A: My day typically starts with checking and responding to my emails, and then it is on to my to-do list for the day. This involves liaising with my clients, the various banks and building societies, and insurance companies – whilst chasing client applications and supplying additional information.

Q: What makes you happy?

A: A beautiful day. Few things fill me with happiness like crisp air, bright sunlight, and birds singing on a spring day.

Q: What makes you get up in the morning?

A: Knowing that I am helping both clients and advisers. The fact that we work as a team and that there is always someone that I can count on in the office to help me achieve my goals.

Q: What do you like to do at the weekend?

A: Over the weekend I enjoy going for walks with my husband and children, Or just relaxing in the garden and a good barbecue finishing off with a fire pit and chorizo with bread.

Q: Where was your last holiday?

A: My last holiday was in Portugal, my home country! I try to go every year with my children so we can visit all the family that we do not see during the year.

Q: What is the one thing in your life that you could not do without?

A: It may be a cliché, but I could not live without my family! They help me to go through every obstacle that life throws at me.
