Bio

Growing up, Anni wanted to be a veterinarian or a journalist. Then, she took a law class in high school that changed her trajectory. Through the class, Anni participated in a program that allowed high school students to act as peer advocates for teens in the juvenile justice system. While participating in the program, she saw how important it was for people to have access to representation in legal proceedings. From that point on, Anni knew she wanted to be an attorney.

Anni went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Spanish from Emory University, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. She is licensed to practice law in California and Texas, and her passion for change at the policy level was ignited while working in immigration and criminal law. It was in those contexts that she saw how often systems fail, and how important it is to develop and implement policies that center the voices of those who stand to be most impacted. Anni serves as Senior Policy Director at Children’s Alliance and is excited to work with community voices to effect change on behalf of kids and families in her home state of Washington. In her free time, Anni enjoys cooking, reading, and spending time in nature with her two dogs.
