Anna grew up in Russia and moved to the Northshore suburbs when she was 10-years-old. A teacher by trade and heart, Anna is an incurable theater and Shakespeare nerd and a total bookworm. Willingly succumbing to wanderlust, she has enjoyed a myriad of travels near and far and is a seasoned spontaneous road-trip mastermind. After being perpetually on-the-go, Anna has enjoyed slowing down and spending time at home with her daughters… although they are rarely actually at home. This mama-daughter team (and yes, they do have a team song) are currently on a self-assigned mission of finding the best coffee shops in close proximity to the best playgrounds. When Anna is at home, she enjoys reading, doing crossword puzzles with her husband, playing boardgames, and crocheting.
