Anna Monders

Anna Monders holds an MFA in writing for children from Simmons University and an MS in earth and planetary sciences from MIT. According to her genetic report, she has Irish ancestry, is a preferred target for mosquitoes, and is most likely a night owl. The genetic report could not, however, predict that her life adventures would include serving in the Peace Corps in Gabon, conducting biogeochemistry fieldwork in the Arctic, teaching in a one-room off-the-grid schoolhouse, and presenting high-energy book talks to kids across southern Oregon.
