What Clients are Saying
Cristina Tapia has been amazing to work with! We actually followed her to Leavitt Pacific because the service she provides is unmatched. She is always responsive, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what she does. She goes above and beyond to make sure our company and employees are always taken care of. Cristina and her team are fantastic. As someone in HR, it's such a relief to have a benefits broker I can always count on. I highly recommend her!”

WOW!! Cristina Tapia was absolutely amazing. She came on site with us for two days and and met with every single one of our employees. She answered any and all questions they had in regards to their insurance and gave them the best route to take based off what works for them personally. Not to mention she assisted all our Spanish speaking employees with all the information they needed to leave feeling confident in choosing the best insurance choice for them. Cristina was a delight to work with she made us all feel very empowered and informed. Thank you Cristina again. Hands down recommend Leavitt Pacific Insurance.”

We've had a phenomenal experience working with Leavitt Pacific Insurance Brokers for our commercial business insurance. Switching insurance brokers can be a daunting process, but the Leavitt team guided us through every step, making the transition seamless and stress-free.Their expertise extends far beyond insurance. The support they provide with workers' compensation, HR, and employee health benefits is outstanding. Certificates of Insurance (COIs) are consistently issued the same day they're requested, and since making the switch, we've had zero issues with our customers' compliance portals.It's been just over a year since we moved to Leavitt Pacific, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions we've made. I highly recommend them to any business looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and reliable insurance partner.A special thank you to Karl, Sandy, Yvette, Heidi, Janice, Cristina, and Taylor. Your professionalism, expertise, and exceptional customer service have made all the difference!

About Cristina
With 15 years of experience in the insurance industry—nine of which have been dedicated to employee benefits—and over 25 years in customer service, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of businesses across various sectors and sizes. These include non-profit organizations, manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, transportation, construction, technology, energy, hospitality, restaurants, and law firms. My journey into the fast-paced world of insurance was fueled by my administrative experience and passion for helping others navigate the complexities of running a successful business.
My specialties lie in implementing strategic cost-saving programs through innovative solutions such as HRAs, HSAs, level-funded, and self-funded programs. I am particularly motivated by being a reliable resource for my clients, especially when it comes to ACA compliance, ERISA laws, EDI, and API technology integrations. I am dedicated to providing white-glove service to both clients and their employees, always ready to support by taking work off their plates and ensuring they receive friendly, inclusive, and culturally competent service.
Building and maintaining trust with my clients is not just a professional duty but a lifelong commitment that I eagerly embrace. I thrive on empowering companies to focus on their business goals, leaving the complexities of insurance to me.
As a proud single, professional woman of color, I take pride in being the matriarch and glue of my family. I remain caring, especially to those who lack the adequate support.
A UCLA graduate fluent in Spanish, I enjoy sailing, learning to surf, hosting gatherings for family and friends, and exploring new cultures through travel. I am also deeply committed to giving back to the community and serve as a director for SHEKonnect, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting young ladies who have lost their mothers.
