Anna studied international relations at Stanford University and graduated in 2016 after writing an honors thesis on religious violence in Mexico. During her time at Stanford, she was fortunate to have internships with the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Affairs. After graduating, she worked at a think tank in Los Angeles and conducted research on digital government services in Estonia as a Fulbright Fellow. Most recently, she managed an international crisis management team for Meta, Inc. Anna grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, so she is full of D.C. pride, including an obsession with the city’s baseball team (the Nationals) and a deep love for museums and Ethiopian food.
