SUE SAYS

“Growing up Anna was a natural when it came to science and math. Not only was she good at it but she loved it. That’s not typically popular for a young girl in middle school. She would like to change that. The work she is doing as the co-Founder of Project Canary is not only important and beneficial for humanity, it’s also very cool!
