a bit about me


hello everyone,

my name is anna. i'm originally from a small town in British Columbia, Canada, and moved to Edmonton, Alberta last year to begin my Masters studies in educational policy studies. my main focus is on social and environmental justice, activism and education. throughout this program, i have had many questions about solidarity work, my role as an ally, activism...

i speak english, spanish, and a tiny bit of portuguese. my focus of study in my undergraduate degree was anthropology and latin american studies, so in my third year i travelled throughout south america for four months, spending time in peru, bolivia, chile, argentina and brazil. i have also travelled throughout europe, to japan, uganda and other beautiful places. however, now i am beginning to question travel. i am so privileged to be able to jump no an airplane and fly across the world. when is it ok to use my privilege and do that, and when should i step back? so many questions, hopefully through these pages i will work through some of them.
