Anna has seen close friends and family suffer with mental health issues and so when she took a career break to raise a family in 2015 it seemed the perfect opportunity to get involved with a local charity to help try and change things in the community where she lives.
Anna read chemistry at Oxford before working as a financial analyst for a fund manager in the city for nearly a decade. She wanted to put her business and analytical skills to good use while also learning more about mental health from experts in their field.
