Leilani Soliven
Aloha! I'm Leilani, a Licensed Insurance Agent and Premier Benefit Consultant, proudly born and raised in Hawaii. I specialize in simplifying health insurance options, particularly in the realm of Medicare, guiding clients through the transition from employer-based to individual coverage.
With degrees in Accounting, Psychology, and Information Systems, along with experience in both the Department of Defense and private companies, I embarked on a full-time career as an insurance agent in 2017.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I am deeply passionate about community service, with interests spanning travel, architecture, and outdoor activities. The Kupunas of Hawaii hold a special place in my heart, inspiring my commitment to giving back. This commitment is reflected in our Kare For Kupuna Podcast, where I provide helpful tips, insights, and valuable resources for all Kupunas of Hawaii.
