Anastasia Yecke comes to Kopali with half a decade of experience in Advertising. She grew up in a variety of locations across the United States due to her father's job in the Marine Corps. Her love of traveling brought her to Mexico to live as an exchange student, to Athens to study during her second year of college, and to a grand total of 49 countries on six continents during and after her four years with United Airlines.
After being laid off during the dot-com crash in 2001, she left San Francisco for SE Asia where she and a friend backpacked for three months. She eventually moved to Miami in 2002 and was instrumental in building her company's Miami branch from the ground up. She noticed that she received the most satisfaction from working on ad campaigns for non-profits and charitable causes, so after her company was sold she decided to change gears and look for employment with a triple-bottom-line company (people/planet/profit). Her search led her to Kopali, and she is happy to be part of the team!
In her free time, she enjoys volunteering at the animal shelter, traveling, being outdoors, and raising funds for needy children through www.aurashouse.com.
