Geiste (pronounced gay-steh) has recently joined the Curtis Advisory team as our new Client Services Coordinator. She carries 5+ years of client-facing skills with a combination of Sales & Marketing and Operations experience within upscale establishments in Santa Barbara.
Geiste was born in Lithuania where she spent half of her childhood before her family relocated to Los Angeles in 2003. She is fluent in Lithuanian and also understands limited Russian from her Mother’s side of the family. Her background has provided her with the ability to maintain cultural sensitivity and being able to communicate effectively with members of diverse groups. This, along with her interest in human behavior, led her to study Psychology at SBCC and later CSU Fullerton where she obtained her BA degree in 2018. On her spare time, Geiste enjoys staying active, exploring new destinations, and expanding her knowledge in wellness, mental health, and personal finance.
