One of the most important things to know about Anna is that she loves cheese. In fact, for her 31st birthday, she had an exclusively-cheese party where over a dozen cheeses were present. It was the only real food item available to party guests.

 

Many guests were wary of what all that cheese might do to their stomachs. Anna was unphased and spent the evening gorging herself on the most delicious cheese varieties.

That is a true story.

Another true story is that Anna has always been passionate about working with kids.

From her own childhood experiences as a big sister/older cousin to her adulthood work as a children's librarian, there has been a strong thread connecting her life's journey: caring for kids.

She currently lives in Franklin, TN with her husband, two stepchildren, and a cat named "Pixel."

Most days, you can find her building a contraption out of cardboard or practicing songs on her mini guitar for an upcoming story time.

You can learn more about her at annaskates.co or by following along on any of the following social platforms.
