My name is Anna, and I'm the author behind Thrive Here.

I'm from North Carolina, and am currently a Junior in college studying Advertising and Political Science.

I love painting, reading, writing, baking, and exploring the great outdoors.

I'm a deep thinker, I like to laugh (a lot), and I'm an enthusiast of a lot of things.  

I love spending time with friends and family, creating in some form, or enjoying quiet time alone with Jesus.

I'm a big fan of coffee, pandas, flowers, pizza, bright colors, the mountains, the ocean, music, running, and Jesus!  

My prayer for this site is that it encourages others to seek joy in the ordinary, while pointing them to the hope and love of Jesus Christ.
