Anna Hoch-Kenney is a visual journalist from Oakland, California. After studying Sociology at UC Santa Cruz and trying out a few different career paths and countries, Anna rediscovered her passion for photography and storytelling in a photojournalism class at her local city college. In the years since, she has worked as the staff photojournalist for Coastside News Group, a local news organization covering California’s San Mateo Coast, and as the staff visual journalist and assistant audience engagement editor for the Embarcadero Media Foundation, a nonprofit news organization covering communities on the Peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area. Her work at both organizations has been recognized with multiple CNPA awards. Anna is excited to explore new mediums for storytelling and build on her passion for local news at Stanford. When she's not on assignment, Anna is most likely out on a scenic drive, getting lost on a trail, or hunting for thrift store treasures.
