Anna Tripp was born in Quito, Ecuador, although primarily grew up in Jacksonville, FL. She always had an interest in cameras which led her to take Television Production and Film Studies courses at Paxon School for Advanced Studies. In high school, she developed a love for film and began to gain a deep interest in photography. Prior to enrolling in her first digital photography class at Jacksonville University, she was a self-taught photographer. She earned a B.S. in Marine Science and a minor in photography from Jacksonville University ('20) and has worked as a field biologist and media expert for various state, federal, and nonprofit organizations in Florida, Alaska, Alabama, and Virginia. Today, Anna continues to serve our public lands and support conservation projects for endangered and threatened species while still making time to travel, photographing wildlife, unique landscapes, and cultures!
