A proud graduate of the University of Arizona, Anna received her degree in Agriculture Economics. While attending UA, Anna was mentored by Champion International Livestock Auctioneer, Paul Ramirez, who taught her the basics of bid-calling and how to ring at charity events. In August of 2004, Anna graduated from Mendenhall School of Auctioneering and most recently is a 2018 graduate of the Professional Ringmen’s Institute.
With a dual career in agriculture communications and auctioneering she realized there was more she could be doing with her talents after attending a benefit auction with Letitia Frye on the mic. Shortly thereafter, Anna was accepted by the country’s most renowned auctiontainer as a mentee. She has worked as both a ring woman and auctioneer, learning the planning stages, event analysis and day of operations at many benefit auctions with Letitia. Gaining firsthand knowledge and valuable lessons from the leading benefit auctioneer in the nation has been paramount in Anna's training.
