Anna was born and raised in Teton Valley, Idaho, where she grew up fly fishing, picking berries, camping, and hiking. She graduated with a BA in English with an emphasis in Professional Writing from the University of Idaho. After leaving Moscow, ID, she traveled around Central and South America, teaching English, taking Spanish lessons, and exploring the outdoors. Her time abroad taught her the importance of communication and language. After a five-year break, she made the decision to go to graduate school.

Anna then graduated with an MA in Technical Communication from Boise, with the intention of learning written and verbal communication, grant writing, program and project building, and ethical research, and applying these skills to working with nonprofits and advocating for conservation and public lands.

In her free time, Anna loves to fly fish, backpack, forage for berries, and paint. Inspired by the remarkable landscapes of Teton Valley and the impactful work of the Teton Regional Land Trust, Anna is excited to contribute her passion and experience to further the organization’s mission.
