Anna grew up and studied in New York City. She completed a combined B.A.-M.D. program with Brooklyn College/SUNY Downstate Medical Center, during which she received a Jonas E. Salk Scholarship. She completed a project assessing the quality of life of patients with uveal melanoma at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, sparking an interest in ophthalmology. She then completed her ophthalmology residency at NYU Langone Health, where she was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society in recognition of compassionate patient care. She is excited to join UPMC as an Orbital, Oculoplastics, and Aesthetic Surgery Fellow. 

Anna and her husband, Bill, are enjoying exploring the hiking and food that Pittsburgh has to offer. They are strongly considering adopting a dog in the near future.
