Anna (ah-nah), pronounced like the princess from Disney’s Frozen, is a singer, actor, vocal coach, songwriter, voice over artist, and all around creative! She passionately inspires others, both on and off the stage, through performance, writing, and individual coaching.
Her self made motto is to, “change culture through art.” She hopes to do this by connecting people to create and share their art, no matter how big or small their platform may be. “I’ve seen the power of creativity heal hearts and change lives: from adults in prison, rehab centers, living at home, or living on the streets: to kids with special needs, speech impediments, or day to day insecurities that come with discovering an individual identity, and beyond! Everyone has a story to tell or a hidden passion they long to express. I seek to provide those safe spaces for people to explore their creativity, vulnerability, identity, and joy!“
