My Why

Anjya believes that everyone should be presented with choices in life, and she has seen that those choices are drastically expanded when one has received an education and limited when one has not. Unfortunately, those who are positioned closer to affluence and whiteness have greater access to high quality education and therefore a larger array of choices, and Anjya wants to do her part to expand the circle of opportunity.

What Brings Me Joy

Outside of work, Anjya enjoys spending time with her family and two young daughters, traveling, knitting, and being outside.
