An Idaho native, Anna credits her ten years of experience guiding on rivers throughout Utah, West Virginia, California, Oregon, and Idaho as the cornerstone of her interest in resource management. After studying ecology in Nunavut and Nepal, she earned her B.A. in biology, with a French minor, from the Colorado College in 2000. For several years after college, she worked in plant genetics and diabetes research for the UC Berkeley Plant Gene Expression Center and U.C. San Francisco Department of Medicine. Anna then retired her petri dishes and went to law school, earning her Juris Doctor from the University of San Francisco in 2006. She specialized in land use and water law, interned with the California Attorney General's Energy Task Force, and worked at a private water law practice. Upon graduation from law school, Anna returned to Idaho to work for a small private water law practice in Boise. In November of 2007, she joined the VARD staff, serving as both the program director and staff attorney.
