Anna Berzins Forkner grew up in Oregon before moving to Los Angeles to study Urban and Environmental Policy at Occidental College, where she graduated summa cum laude in 2004. Her passion for sustainability took her to Costa Rica and Peru, where she worked on biodiversity and conservation efforts. She later earned an MPhil in Planning, Growth, and Regeneration from the University of Cambridge.

Before becoming a mother, Anna enjoyed a successful career as a professional model. Now, with her children older, she is making her return to the modeling world. Alongside her producer husband, she is a regular on the red carpet during awards season, becoming a favorite of fashion houses for those exclusive events.

Anna’s career has also included work at the Natural Resources Defense Council, leadership roles in start-ups like LadyBugOut, and serving on the board of Vista Del Mar in LA. Currently based in Boulder, Colorado, she coordinates international programs for the Aspect Foundation, bringing students from over 50 countries to the U.S.
