Creative Manager, EMI Global

Professional Training & Experience

Anna graduated from LeTourneau University in 2007 with a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering. After working a few years in the field, she left engineering to pursue a calling towards missions. From 2010 - 2012, she served with YWAM in New Zealand while leading short-term missions trips to Cambodia and S.E. Asia. In this season, God began placing a burden for Cambodia on her heart. Leaving YWAM, Anna earned a second bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Bellevue University in 2014. That same year, she joined EMI as an intern where God brought together both degrees in a unique way. By the end of 2014, she had joined EMI full-time as staff and as a launching member of what would become EMI Cambodia in 2017. Anna has recently returned from Cambodia and is once again working at EMI Global as the Creative Manager. 

Ministry Experience

Anna became interested in overseas mission work in university, joining several short-term missions trips. She continued to follow this interest with YWAM where she attended a DTS in New Zealand, and then stayed on to be DTS staff for two different schools leading outreach teams to Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, India, and Nepal. Wanting to pursue long-term missions work and having a burden for Cambodia, Anna joined EMI and became a part of the launching team for EMI Cambodia. 

Family

Anna met her husband, Sdam, at a local church while serving with EMI Cambodia. They are currently living in Colorado Springs while Sdam becomes a US citizen.
