Anna Martin

Anna Martin is a frothing surfer who grew up between the bush and sea on Queensland's Sunshine Coast before heading to Sydney to become a hard-working, hard playing TV editor. Along the way, she gained a bag of skills, tripped over a couple of kids, and landed between the green and blue once again, where she loves life as a digital marketer and manages to fit in a slightly irresponsible number of surfs weekly.
