Bio
Tara Maritzer
Anna is a brilliant colleague (and friend). She is detail-oriented, and organized and, most helpful to me, able to explain technical aspects of her MEL work in a way that is understandable to all. I highly recommend working with Anna, she's an inspiring and creative person and a true team player.
Kelly Quintero
Working with Anna has been as enriching as pleasant. Every project we shared was an opportunity to learn from her discipline and pragmatic approach to getting things analyzed and done timely. In addition to her problem-solving skills, Anna is a great team worker, encouraging and creative person. She has the experience, motivation and abilities to run regional projects, such as the story-based research she recently led across four countries or the yearly evaluations she runs to measure the progress of international programs. If having the chance to spend time with Anna, don't miss it, for she is an explorer eager to do good to people and the environment and learn and share her knowledge.
