Anna started working with asylum seekers and refugees in New Zealand and Australia over a decade ago. A journalist by trade, she has covered social and political issues worldwide, including the Syrian crisis. Anna is now SPI’s communications manager and she coordinates partnerships, funding and advocacy. She is also a project manager of the Olive Tree Craft Collective. Anna made the switch to development work after realizing the limited impact media coverage of the conflict in Syria was having on the response of the international community, and decided to opt for a more grassroots approach to helping those affected by it.
