About Anya
Anya had no idea what she was getting myself into when she came to MYL as an ambassador in 2013. But the seminar left an impact on her and she returned every year. She knew she wanted to join the board but not until she was out of college and able to devote more time to it.
Anya is from Lewiston and moved to Brooklyn, NY for college. She graduated with a degree in architecture last year and works for a firm in the city specializing in affordable housing, homeless shelters, and public schools. In the evenings and on the weekends, she'll be reading in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, biking around the city, enjoying a latte on a park bench, or exploring an art exhibit. When she comes home to Maine, she loves taking walks at the ocean and spending a quiet weekend in Boothbay.
What is your favorite outdoor activity?
Reading in the nearest park while I’m in New York and rock hopping along the coast when I’m home in Maine.
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
I have a trip to Scandinavia on the horizon when things with Covid feel more stable. But I really want to return to Ireland and hop on over to Scotland as well. I think I feel so fondly of that area because, in a way, the landscape shares some of the same characteristics I’ve come to cherish about the Maine landscape.
What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Moose Tracks
What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?
Fruit—I don't like it. And "other" wasn't an option for coffee but I'd always prefer a latte from a local cafe.
