Hi, I’m Anne

I’m a nurse anesthetist, traveler, and storyteller, exploring the world through photography, curiosity, and a love for slow, intentional living.

In 2020, I left my full-time W-2 job to build a life that prioritized time, creativity, and freedom. These days, I’m either in scrubs or somewhere with a carry-on and a camera, and I share it all to remind healthcare pros: you don’t have to hit burnout to start living on your own terms.

  CRNA AT LARGE

Notes from the OR, the airport, and everywhere in between.

A village at the base of tall, snow-capped mountains with rocky cliffs and green slopes.
“It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There’s almost no such thing as ready. There’s only now. “
— Hugh Laurie
