Born and raised in Washington, DC, Anna has worked at several local institutions including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, US Holocaust Memorial Museum, National Gallery of Art and Glenstone Foundation. In 2020, she graduated from SUNY Buffalo State University, one of the few conservation graduate programs to offer a dual master of arts in Conservation of Art and Cultural Heritage and a master of science in Conservation Science and Imaging. As a third-year Fellow at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, she performed in-depth research and treatment on Picasso's Chrysanthemums (1901) and continues to work with colleagues at other museums to further her research.
