Anna (she/her) is Family Equality’s Associate Director of Archives, Storytelling, and Brand, where she works to protect, preserve, and make accessible the history of Family Equality and LGBTQ+ families — past, present, and future. For more than five years, she’s worked at Family Equality on a number of initiatives, including marketing, programming, education, and outreach. Prior to this work, she’s developed educational and policy-related content for leading child welfare organizations, national news companies, and nonprofits empowering historically marginalized communities.
Anna holds a Masters Degree in Library and Information Science with a concentration in Archives Management. Outside of social justice nonprofits, Anna has worked at renowned universities to process and arrange manuscript collections and provide instruction and reference support to students. She also serves as the Communications Committee Chair of the New England Archivists, belongs to the Society of American Archivists and the Collections Care and Conservation Alliance, and volunteers in-person at the Heritage Winooski Mill Museum and digitally with the Smithsonian. In July 2024, Anna presented, “Transgressions, Traces, and Temporality: Identifying a Queer Framework for the History of the Book” at the California Rare Book School’s Queer Bibliography conference.
Whether logged into Family Equality or stationed in the stacks, Anna’s work centers around ensuring that communities have access to the information, resources, and histories they need to understand their past, explore their present, and imagine more equitable futures. When she’s not collecting and preserving the stories of our families, you can find her living up to every archivist stereotype: Curled up in an egregious sweater (circa 1980) with a good book in hand and a cat on her lap.
