After growing up just north of Minneapolis, MN, she studied at the University of Wisconsin – Stout. She landed in Merrill not long after graduation and has come to love Thorogood’s home state of Wisconsin as we do.

And she takes this job seriously – she even handles the interviews and development for our “Lacing Up With…” blog and social media series which features real, hardworking people and their stories.
When not at work, Anna is an avid traveler. Whether she’s visiting family, catching up with college friends in other states, relaxing at her lake cabin, or off to the next vacation adventure – she’s always looking forward to the next experience. She also loves spending time with her two dogs, Nova and Goose, at home and on the go.
