Aloha! Welcome to Iris Kuwaye State Farm Agency! I was born and raised in Hilo, and I attended Waiakea High School. Go Warriors! I also received a bachelor's degree in business administration at Oregon State University, Go Beavers!. But after college I came back to Hawaii because my roots are really deep in Hawaii. I am passionate about giving back to my community and the people of Hawaii Island.

My heart belongs to Hilo, and it is a privilege to work with my neighbors to assist them in preserving what is most important. After 30 years as a State Farm Insurance Agent, my commitment to those I serve has only been stronger. We strive to help our customers with their auto, home, life, health, and business insurance needs. We can even assist you with your pet insurance through our alliance with Trupanion.

I joined the State Farm family right after college because I was passionate about building personal connections with my community. After five years I was fortunate enough to open my own agency in my hometown in Hilo – and I have never looked back.

My friendly and licensed team strives to make everyone feel welcomed in every interaction, every day. We take pride in our quality customer service, and we're always here with a cup of coffee and a snack to enjoy while we assist you to get the coverage's you need.

Helping my Hilo community is incredibly important to me. I also love supporting local businesses and charities. Two charities close to my heart are The American Heart Association and The American Cancer Society. In my free time, you can usually find me walking my dog Chewy around the neighborhood with my mom, spending time with my family, golfing, and volunteering at high school swim meets.

We can get together in the manner that you feel comfortable: Walk-In, Call-In, Text, Email, or a Virtual Meeting.

Come in and meet the team: Frances, Liko, Michelle, Luann, Reina, Jourdan, Bernard, Ellen, Tasha, and Mari.

Let's work together on a plan that fits your life for your insurance and financial service goals.
