City Editor

Anna is based in Indianapolis, IN and worked in government communications for five years before joining 6AM City to help launch INDYtoday. When she’s not writing about the Circle City from a local coffee shop, you can find her taking long walks with her dog Babs + reading from her hammock and baking pies from scratch.
