She loves that she can still tap into both her artistic side and her technical side.

When not coding, you can find Anna in the great outdoors as an avid backpacker and hiker. When not outside, she’s usually hanging out with her cat, Kabuki, and finding new places to eat in Portland (there are so many good places there!).
