After graduation Anna worked as a Divemaster, guiding and teaching divers about the world under the waves. Afterward, she interned with Coral Restoration Foundation where she learned valuable skills in reef restoration and community outreach. She took those skills to the Dominican Republic for her third IU Underwater Science field school before working with the Cap Cana Foundation as a marine conservation intern. As an intern, Anna did everything from releasing sea turtles to documenting endangered coral colonies.
