“Meet the board” is a series of posts to help you get to know the members of your Eliot Neighborhood Association Board.

Anna has lived in the Eliot neighborhood for a year and a half and in Portland for seven years. This is her first term as a board member.  She wanted to join the board to increase her knowledge and awareness about what is going on in the Eliot neighborhood.

She currently writes for the Eliot newsletter, and her goal is to continue writing about the people and businesses that make up the Eliot neighborhood and about the issues that we face as a neighborhood. She loves to attend events in the Eliot neighborhood and write about them! A secret (now not so secret) skill of Anna’s is that she plays the harp.  Anna is a post baccalaureate student at Portland State University and has been applying to graduate school in order to become a bilingual speech pathologist.
