My Story
Originally from Colorado, Anna Bella relocated to Santa Barbara during the pandemic in search of a fresh start and a deeper sense of community. She quickly fell in love with the walkable charm of the city, and when she’s not supporting families through her work at OpenMinds, you can often find her hiking local trails, relaxing at the beach, or exploring town on foot. She also enjoys unwinding with enthusiastic marathons of captivating TV shows—especially when there's a good plot twist involved. Anna brings that same curiosity and warmth to both her personal and professional life.
