Azirah Yi
Meet Azirah Yi!
Azirah is our manager who handles wrangling up the team, marketing, client relations,
operational management, and pretty much all things agency-related. She’s unofficially our
“Happy Manager” too as she greets every client with a charming smile and easy-going attitude.
After graduating from Cal State University with a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design Communications,
Azirah was the art director for a trucking magazine as well as a cosmetics company until she
started working in the insurance industry in 2012. Having lived on both the east coast and the
west coast, Azirah has had quite the experience interacting with all diversities of people. Not to mention, Azirah can speak four languages! English, Vietnamese, Cham, and Spanish.
Outside of work, Azirah lives with her husband and their three kids. She loves doing charitable
work with The Kind Insurance and hopes to lead the agency in spreading more kindness in the
community through philanthropy. In her spare time, Azirah loves cooking, going on family
vacations, doing art, visiting museums, and doing Arabic calligraphy.
