Anastasia joined the Bloom community as a desk manager in March of 2023, after graduating from Loyola where she studied forensic science and anthropology. She has collaborated with her peers to assist students in learning about the human skeleton and worked in remains repatriation at the Field Museum of Natural History. When she's not behind the desk at the studio, she is preparing coffee at a coffee shop in Rogers Park.

Anastasia loves connecting with people from all types of communities, and finds the Bloom community to be fruitful in different local recommendations. Practicing mindfulness while still getting a good workout is her favorite thing about the classes she has attended at the studio - and finds it a key to wellness and a healthy mind. When not at the coffee shop or at the studio, you'll often find Anastasia glued to a book, checking out some fun movies with friends, catching up with her large number of siblings or trying to learn a new musical instrument.
