About Me
Hey there, I'm Anna, an operations strategist who turns organizational chaos into systems that actually work. Since 2011, I've built operational frameworks across education, hospitality, PropTech, and wellness. I've generated $560K in revenue, built customer success departments from scratch, and coordinated cross-functional teams through high-stakes initiatives. My approach combines systematic thinking with genuine understanding of how people work—because the best processes are ones teams will truly follow. I specialize in bridging communication gaps between technical and business stakeholders. When developers and executives can't understand each other, I translate. When teams are drowning in Slack chaos, I build the coordination systems that make work flow again. I thrive on making the complicated simple through thoughtful operational design. Beyond client work, I run Pecculiar, a back-to-basics wellness brand focused on accessible self-care. This reflects my belief that well-designed systems should support both business growth and personal wellbeing—and that complicated solutions usually aren't better than simple ones. My life outside of work includes my partner Pablo, our dogs Waffle and Valentina, collecting quartz crystals, cooking, and gardening. I'm an August Virgo with AuDHD who loves chocolate chip cookies, the color pink, and solving "impossible" problems. I believe in creating foundations that enable meaningful change, remembering that perfect systems aren't built overnight—they evolve through iteration, feedback, and a commitment to making things better every day.

I met Anna when she was a student in a senior-level business strategy class I was teaching and her sharp mind and excellent communication skills made her stand out in the final presentations. So when I was looking for someone to provide high-quality work on a presentation deck for a business venture I was involved in, I knew Anna could get it done."
