Someone once told Anna Mueller that communications was “unintellectual and a waste of time.” So, she’s getting two degrees in it.
She almost went to law school—took the LSAT, filled out the applications, even toured a campus or two—before realizing her real passion wasn’t just in arguing the facts, but in shaping the narrative. Now, her work lives at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and intimate knowledge of the current media landscape.
Anna currently lives in Los Angeles, earning her master’s in public relations and advertising at the University of Southern California. She loves telling hometown family and friends that her favorite part of living in LA is, in all seriousness, going to class.
Equally an eager academic, sports fan, and chronically online TikTok user, Anna brings sharp instincts, a curious mind, and a deep appreciation for what grabs people’s attention and keeps it. She’s fluent in AP Style and Taylor Swift lyrics, just as comfortable in a press room as she is on the sidelines at a track and field meet.
Her goals? Big and ever-evolving. Her interests? Wide-ranging. Her dream? To keep building a career where communication and culture collide, and to never stop proving that communications work has always been and always will be a worthwhile intellectual pursuit.
