about me

Esmeralda Neumann, Licensed Health & Life Insurance Broker

I entered the insurance industry two years ago, following in the footsteps of my dad, Pete Araiza, who built Araiza Insurance over 40 years ago. Working side by side, Pete shares his decades of experience while I bring my fresh perspective, backed by a strong foundation in marketing & communications. Together, we create a well-rounded team dedicated to serving clients with care and expertise.

I earned my degree in Communication from The University of Texas at Austin 🤘and my Master’s in Marketing from The University of Texas at Dallas.

In addition to my work in insurance, I’m the owner of Past Midnight Creative, a design firm that partners with organizations to elevate their brands through creative strategy and design. In 2023, my husband, Andrew, and I launched San Antonio Circuit Makers, a nonprofit that inspires makers of all ages to learn the basics of electronics and engineering.

Whether you’re exploring your insurance options or looking for the right coverage to protect what matters most, you can count on my knowledge, dedication, and personal approach.

My Philosopy

Put people first by making insurance clear, accessible, and tailored to each client’s needs.

Vision

Health insurance in the U.S. is complicated—but it doesn’t have to feel that way. My vision is to make insurance simple and transparent, giving you the confidence to understand your options and make the best decisions for yourself and your family.

When you work with me, you’re never on your own. I’m here to advocate for you and cut through the confusion. Once you become my client, you can count on me to be on your team every step of the way.

Mission

I’m on a mission to make the insurance process as stress-free as possible.

I’m here to answer your questions, address your concerns, and walk with you through life’s toughest decisions, so you always feel supported, informed, and confident in your coverage.

Why Work With Me

As an independent insurance broker, I work for you, not the insurance companies. That means my only priority is finding the coverage that truly fits your needs. My commitment is to your satisfaction, your health, and your peace of mind.

Best of all, my services are 100% free to you. I’m paid by commissions from the insurance companies, so you get personalized guidance without any extra cost.
