I’m Anna.
I build community.

Who am I?

• Studied English Literature in undergrad because I love a good narrative. Then studied marketing, corporate social responsibility, and social entrepreneurship to become an effective change maker.

• Worked with orphans and taught small business practices to widows in Nairobi. Also adopted an elephant.

• Received a certificate of commendation from the City of Los Angeles for my work with the American Red Cross.

• Built a fashion blog. Wrote 200+ posts, won a couple of awards and met some phenomenal people.

• Worked in startup, nonprofit, higher education, for-profit.

• Moved to the midwest to try winter and double down on potatoes. Got cold, moved back to the west coast. Proud to have been elected to represent a few thousand of my neighbors in Ann Arbor while I was there.

• My community clients have included cancer patients, data scientists, influencers, professors, people who care about money, people who care about planet, and many more. Built community everywhere.

What I Do

Community Builder: Ainsleigh Burelle said it best. "Community builders operate at the nexus of operations, marketing, and business development."  

Ideator: My favorite phrase is “what if…” My second favorite phrase is, “how can we make it happen?”

Maximizer: Often my job is to take what exists and make it better. Sometimes that’s not my job, but I do it anyway. Refinement is in my nature.

Connector: Breaking down barriers between people, finding connections between strategic plan goals

Finisher: Bottom line, you have to deliver. Why do so many people miss this? After you deliver, review your metrics and workflow.
