Mojave Desert: Nevada (2022)

Get to Know Anna

Beyond the career highlights.

I'm known for...

Squealing with delight at the sight of a hummingbird, especially Calypte anna!

My absolute love of the Mojave Desert and the many unexpected secrets that it holds.

Dreaming up my trip to Africa when I was just a '90s kid obsessed with The Lion King.

Digging into my favorite creative projects - lately, I've been working on a few songs!

Growing a rainbow of peppers in my garden that are much hotter than I can handle.

Perfecting my horseback archery skills in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Settling in for a Lord of the Rings marathon: preferably all three extended editions!

Relaxing with Nintendo ambiance

or Lo-fi floating through the air.

Baby-talking to jumping spiders all summer: have you SEEN their cute little faces?

My incredible desert-born friends visiting WI and discovering that fireflies are real!

Chatting with guests from around the globe while working at a high end resort in Vegas.

Hiking up a seemingly unconquerable mountain in Rwanda to observe wild gorillas.
