After earning a degree in English Literature at college in the Midwest and a year in New York, she moved to Switzerland where she lived for seven and a half years. Upon returning to the Virgin Islands in the late seventies, she taught English Literature in the public and private schools and held other administrative positions. In 1990, she was the coordinator for the First U.S.V.I. exhibit on the Washington Mall at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Shortly after, she was appointed the first alumna principal of her high school alma mater, Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic High School. She has authored several published poems, including "Tropical Moonlight" which was set to music by the late Doc. Randall James. Anna Mae has always been intrigued by the contrast of Danish, Caribbean and American cultures which permeate every aspect of life in these beautiful islands. She is fluent in the French language and currently lives in Florida with her husband . They return to St, Thomas several times each year and still consider St. Thomas "home."lihat lebih sedikit
