Anna’s path to healthcare began with a deep curiosity about how the human body works and how compassion at its core can transform lives. That curiosity led her to pursue pre-medicine before ultimately finding her calling in nursing. As a critical care nurse, she cares for individuals and families during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. This work has given her a deep respect for the fragility of health and the profound impact illness and crisis have on entire families.

In addition to bedside care, Anna works in the health and wellness space within a functional medicine clinic. There, she embraces a whole-body approach to healing, one that prioritizes prevention, balance, and long-term wellbeing rather than symptom management alone. She believes true health comes from addressing the physical, emotional, and environmental factors that influence how people live, heal, and sustain recovery.

This philosophy directly informs Anna’s passion for addiction recovery. She has witnessed firsthand how addiction affects not only individuals, but also their loved ones and communities. She understands the fear, grief, and uncertainty families carry, and the hope that emerges when people are met with compassion, structure, and comprehensive support. Anna firmly believes that lasting recovery requires treating the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.

Before entering healthcare, Anna spent years in corporate America working with Fortune 500 companies, where she developed strong leadership skills, strategic insight, and a deep appreciation for integrity-driven service. Combined with her clinical experience, this background allows her to bring both compassion and thoughtful leadership to her role on the board.

Service has always been central to Anna’s life. Through years of volunteering with food banks, charitable organizations, and community outreach programs, she has remained committed to showing up where help is needed most.

Anna’s work is ultimately about restoring dignity, strengthening families, and empowering sustainable healing. She is honored to support initiatives that treat addiction with the same respect, understanding, and whole-person care that all individuals deserve.
