Anna can’t think of a more fitting way to combine her love of the outdoors and storytelling than by illuminating transformative VYCC experiences. As an Outward Bound student and Assistant Instructor, she experienced how impactful it can be to step outside of one’s comfort zone and collaborate with a team in the outdoors. Anna also held a variety of marketing roles in the North Cascades of Washington State, including serving as the Field Correspondent for Northwest Outward Bound and as the Digital and Social Media Coordinator at the Methow Valley Citizens Council (an environmental nonprofit). As a participant in a UVM Digital Marketing Course, she learned that she gets inordinately excited about things like Search Engine Optimization (but she promises to only blab about it if you ask). After thru-hiking the Long Trail in 2022, she decided it was about time she moved back to her home state of Vermont!
