Hi, I am Anna. After a nine-year career of gymnastics coaching, I am here at Mathnasium teaching something else I love…math. I studied mathematics and economics when I was in college, attending the College of the Sequoias and the University of California, Los Angeles. In my free time, I actively engage with a local church and also host children in my home who are at-risk of entering the foster care system. My favorite part of working at Mathnasium is connecting with each child who is at my table. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be a consistent influence in their life and witness them grow as a person and in their understanding of math.
