Anita finds great meaning in her work as a pediatric nurse practitioner. She has a strong passion for serving those in need and is committed to aligning her actions with her values. She is the founder of Medan, and serves as the president on the board of directors. Since her first trip to Ethiopia in 2012 to adopt her oldest, she has known that she would be involved medically in Ethiopia at some capacity. Her concern for the health of the children of Ethiopia, as well as her acute awareness of the need for better preventative care, continuity of care, partnership, and adherence to standards of practice led to the development of Medan Initiative. She adores her two boys, loves to travel, is an avid reader, enjoys spending time outdoors with her family and friends, and never passes up a good cup of coffee.
