Anna is a born and raised Nashvillian (yes, we exist!). She ventured out of Tennessee for her undergraduate degree and attended Wake Forest University, where she studied Health and Exercise Science with a minor in Chemistry. She then returned to Nashville and worked at VUMC for two years as a clinical research assistant before starting medical school at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. During medical school, she developed and pursued an interest in medical education, which she hopes to continue during residency.

Outside of medicine, Anna enjoys cooking, cuddling with her cat, listening to podcasts, attending local trivia nights, supporting the Tennessee Titans and Nashville Predators, and trying new restaurants and wines with her husband. Her Spotify Wrapped is usually dominated by Taylor Swift and Broadway show tunes. Above all, Anna values spending quality time with her family and friends.
