Anna Refuerzo is an Early Intervention Therapist who works with infants and toddlers to help reach their developmental milestones for the past 12 years. This career path was inspired by her son who is currently a student at Compass High School and has learning differences. Her dedication to volunteering at her children’s places of education led her to co-chairing Parent Partners, a community-building organization at the school. She has also taught English and Journalism at her alma mater, Moreau Catholic in Hayward.

Prior to her career in Education, Anna worked in the Tourism industry in the field of Marketing and Public Relations for PIER 39 and Blue and Gold Fleet. She graduated from California State
University, East Bay with a BA in Broadcast Journalism. Anna enjoys spending time with her husband and two teens by traveling, watching movies, and going on dessert-runs to their favorite ice cream place, Mitchell’s.
