Anna grew up in Lewisburg, WV, and was a lifelong member at Old Stone Presbyterian Church. Anna has spent most of her summers working at Bluestone Camp & Retreat, where she started attending as a camper in the 3^rd grade. During her time there, she found her call to ministry.

Anna strives to create a safe and inclusive environment where all teens and anyone she encounters will leave with the understanding that they are made in the image of God and that God loves them, with no exceptions.
