She was actively involved in local ballet companies in her teens, placed among the top ten in Denver’s Ballet Guild, and was accepted and attended many prestigious summer ballet programs such as Boston Ballet, American Ballet Theater, and Jurgen Schneider’s International Ballet Seminar. Anna received a professional contract with Ruth Page Foundation in Chicago for their Nutcracker season at the age of 16.

She spent a year in Mexico where she taught English at ITESM (a private bilingual high school and university) and taught advanced ballet students at the local dance studio. She is currently Assistant Company Director at Inspirations Dance Company.

Anna received her Primary Aerobic Certification in 2006 and has since been teaching various group fitness classes at Bally Total Fitness and Club USA.
