As a latchkey kid of the 70s, growing up in subsidized housing, she is proud to have been raised by a single mother who worked in a military chow hall.

She is deeply grateful to have witnessed her mother’s determination as she persevered through difficult times – a life-long impression that motivates Anna daily. Growing up in a military family, Anna was fortunate to have lived in Europe and traveled extensively, a formative experience that has had a lasting influence on her life.
