Spunky, bubbly, effervescent and authentic are words often used to describe this colorful Altoona native with a thirst for adventure. She graduated from Penn State University in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in letters, arts, and sciences, with honors from the Schreyer Honors College.
After ping-ponging around after graduating from college, Annette found a way to use her talents as a pianist, organist, trained opera singer, English coach, private music teacher, comedian and freelance writer to patch together a living.
She is continually active in her local community, helping to network and coordinate opportunities for local performers in the central Pennsylvania area find performance opportunities at open mic events. She runs two monthly open mics at Levity Brewing Co. (Altoona, PA) and at McGarvey’s bar (also in Altoona, PA).
She is an avid language learner, currently studying Chinese (Mandarin), Hebrew (Modern and Biblical), Italian, Arabic (Modern Standard) and German. Outside of work, she loves spending time with her cats (Stella and Bela) in addition to friends and family.
She adores reading books, exercising, acrylic painting, crocheting and knitting, and she has been a practitioner of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since 2021 (training under the IBJJF affiliation with Gorilla House Gym in Altoona, PA) and currently has a blue belt rank.
