Anna is research associate supporting the Minor AI study program, where she helps to connect students from different disciplines through collaborative, interdisciplinary learning. Her educational background spans industrial engineering, business administration, and applied data science—fields that naturally intersect in complex real-world challenges.
She has worked internationally in finance, and IT, and was the first employee at a female-led startup focused on fairness and certification in AI. That experience taught her how technical work is shaped by values, context, and collaboration.
Anna also teached as a sailing instructor, where she learned how practical, hands-on learning can help people build confidence and adaptability. That experience continues to inform how to support students: less about giving answers, more about creating space for questions, experimentation, and shared discovery.
She is interested in how people come to understand new perspectives, especially when learning happens in groups and enjoys helping students find structure in cases they’re unsure, or gently encouraging them to try something different.
