About Me

Hi I’m Anna. In 2019 I suffered a freak accident that left me with a broken back and short-term paraesthesia on my left side. Up until this point I was young, healthy and doing relatively okay in my career. What I didn’t realise at the time was that the hardships that snowball after the accident is the real ordeal.

I would love to hear from you.
