Anna Fuss
In Honors since: 2022
Hometown: Portland, OR
Pronouns: They/Them
About me: Hi! My name is Anna, I use they/them pronouns, and I'm a fourth year biochemistry major/chemistry minor on the pre-med track. I grew up in Portland, OR, so I've loved the familiarity of going to college in the PNW (especially PNW fall and spring). I'm a member of the Interdisciplinary Honors Program and a past Honors Peer Facilitator, as well as a past resident of the Honors LLC. In addition to my major, I'm incredibly passionate about learning about and engaging with Health Equity topics and Public Health, which I find ways to either sneak into my classes or into my extra curriculars. If you don't see me studying in one of the cafes near campus, I'm probably out hiking, skiing, baking, painting, or bouldering. Feel free to reach out with any questions about Honors, being a pre-med, or general questions about UW!
