Anna grew up in Youngstown, Ohio before heading to West Virginia University to pursue a degree in mathematics. While she was there she explored the beauty the state had to offer and fell in love with the outdoors. She then went on to work for Voyageur Outward Bound School, leading canoe expeditions in the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota and in Big Bend, Texas. She has always wanted to combine her love for the outdoors and mathematics, which is exactly what HMI does. When she’s not working or doing math, you can find her hiking, climbing, fire spinning, or playing soccer.
