HARLINGEN, TX, September 23, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Abygail T. Elizondo, a trailblazing entrepreneur and founder of Elizondo Insurance Services, has been named to Marquis Who's Who in America, a prestigious biographical registry that recognizes individuals of notable achievement, leadership, and public impact.

With more than 18 years of experience in the insurance industry, Ms. Elizondo has earned a reputation as a respected voice in healthcare advocacy and financial protection for underserved communities across South Texas. Her independent agency, based in Harlingen, specializes in Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplements, ACA Health Plans, Life Insurance, and Retirement Solutions—serving thousands of clients throughout the Rio Grande Valley.

Ms. Elizondo's professional journey began in medical coding, where she developed a deep understanding of the healthcare system. Encouraged by a colleague who saw her gift for connecting with people, she entered the insurance field as a broker. Without formal mentorship or a blueprint, she built her business from the ground up—now leading a team of more than 70 agents across multiple offices.

Her work is rooted in compassion, ethics, and education. Elizondo Insurance Services is known for its grassroots outreach: hosting Medicare seminars, retention events, and benefit clinics aimed at senior individuals, and low-income families. Ms. Elizondo also champions fraud prevention and benefit literacy, helping clients navigate complex government programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and Extra Help.

Her contributions have earned her numerous accolades, including the 2025 SBA Small Business Person of the Year for the Lower Rio Grande Valley District, and the Mary G. Moad Ethics Award from the Better Business Bureau, awarded to her agency two years in a row (2023&2024) for its integrity and service. She has also received multiple top-producer awards from carriers including Aetna, Humana, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and WellCare.

Beyond her business, Ms. Elizondo is a committed community and faith leader. She serves as a director at her church's food pantry and leads women's ministries, youth programs, and educational workshops focused on cooking, financial literacy, and empowerment for women rebuilding their lives. As a mentor, she has helped many of her agents grow into successful business owners themselves—some going on to open their own agencies.

A proud native of South Texas, born in Littlefield and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, Ms. Elizondo treasures family time with her children and grandchildren, enjoys cooking, traveling, and remains actively involved in civic and economic development efforts. She is a proud member of the Rio Grande Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Harlingen Chamber of Commerce, and the McAllen Chamber of Commerce, where she supports initiatives that uplift local entrepreneurs.

Elizondo Insurance Services is also excited to announce the development of its first standalone office building, located in Harlingen. The new headquarters is scheduled to open in January 2026, marking a major milestone in the agency's continued growth. By investing in her hometown, Ms. Elizondo is not only creating jobs but also contributing to the economic vitality of the region—further strengthening her lifelong commitment to community-building and service. Looking ahead, she plans to expand the agency's footprint into sister cities like McAllen while continuing to mentor agents and entrepreneurs to lead with integrity and create lasting impact.
