“I am continuously inspired by a little one’s unlimited capacity for curiosity, joy, and connection. It connects me to my inner child, allowing wonder and compassion to guide my work.”

Anais joined VOCEL in July 2021. After spending five years fundraising in various arts and education non-profit spaces, she’s thrilled to bring that experience to VOCEL and continue growing with her incredible team. Anais graduated from Pomona College in 2020, with a degree in Theatre and a background in directing. It was at Pomona that she first began using storytelling as a tool to inspire compassion and build community. At VOCEL, she is driven to build the relationships needed to best empower supportive and inclusive communities, dedicated to educational equity in Chicago and beyond.  

Anais is proud to be a born-and-raised Chicagoan. When she’s not working, she spends her time writing and reading, learning how to keep plants alive, playing strategy games, and trying to convince her spouse they should adopt a dog!
