Anna is passionate about sports and their influence, social justice, and photography. Throughout high school, she ran cross country, and was a part of mock trial, model UN, and Best Buddies. Her goals for her year in Ecuador are to become fluent in Spanish, learn to make lots of yummy food with my host family, and form lifelong bonds. A quote she likes to keep in mind is "We know ourselves only so far as we've been tested."
