Anna joined the WTOC team in June 2023 as a Multimedia Journalist.
She graduated from Arizona State University with a bachelor's in journalism and mass communication and a minor in sales and marketing. During her time at ASU, Anna focused on stories regarding health and politics in Arizona. She also has some experience behind the scenes as she interned at KNXV-TV in Phoenix as a producer.
Anna is originally from Rhode Island, which is what brought her back to the East Coast after college. When she's not reporting, she loves to hang out at the beach, go on walks through downtown Savannah and try out new restaurants.
She is very excited to get out into the community and tell your stories.
