Experience

As a reporter, Anna Staropoli has written all about travel, food, and wine, as well as commercial real estate, ESG, and climate change. These topics may seem all-encompassing, but they intersect more often than not; she's sat down with Miami's mayor in Buenos Aires, Argentina to discuss South Florida's flood resilience and shadowed puppeteers in Palermo, Sicily to explore the adaptability of their art.

Education

Anna graduated from Dartmouth College in 2019 with a degree in English, creative writing, and geography. She's been writing about her favorite places ever since.
