Many who know her have said she should write a book. When the opportunity to collaborate on one presented itself, Anna felt it was the perfect moment to take the leap. Valuing collaboration, community, and diversity, she knew that being part of a project with global co-authors was something she had to embrace.

Anna’s approach to coaching combines positive psychology and appreciative inquiry. She enjoys photography, sharing intergenerational wisdom, and is deeply committed to integrity, transparency and accountability.
