- Anna is a peacekeeper, a giver, and a lover of life. Children have been her focus since she was a child herself. Starting in the field of Early Childhood Education, Waldorf Anthroposophy, and "Consciousness Based Education", she grew into the creativity of being an entrepreneur and CEO as the founder of a medical company. With her patience, forward thinking, and deep love of humanity, she believes strongly in our American Dream. It is proven within our history, we can become and obtain any dream we seek.
