Anna Bullard grew up in Lyons, Georgia. A small town with less than 20,000 residents. Her family traveled a lot, so at an early age, Anna saw the world in many ways. Growing up in a small town while simultaneously experiencing different cultures by traveling opened Anna’s eyes and made her more compassionate. The focus of her passion is to help people who struggle to have a voice in any given sector, such as the disability community, underprivileged children, and health care issues.

Anna became a passionate person at a young age. Thus, she is the type of high school student that would go out of her way to help other pupils. After graduating from high school, Anna's goal is to travel overseas and undertake mission work for a couple of years. But, because her father is a business entrepreneur and her uncle is a senator, she has seen both worlds and their significance. That is why she wanted to be a part of it, which led her to become an executive director.
