Anna

Anna grew up in a creative and expressive home, where music, art and performance were embraced as part of day-to-day life. She has a diploma in Business Management and Level 1 NZ Sign Language qualifications.

Anna is currently Disability Student Advisor at AUT University and also holds roles at Diversityworks Trust and Rainbow Youth.  All of these incorporate supporting individuals with disabilities to succeed in their studies and their lives.

“I am a determined, unique individual.  It would be great to think that in the future society will change and there will be more respect for everyone.  I hope to be part of this change by making myself visible on screen as part of Unique Extras.”
