What’s the biggest misconception about your industry?
Annie: I think the biggest misconception about this industry is that some folks think that historic preservation is “too complicated, too hard, not worth the effort”. We live in a culture that teaches us that newer is always better, but in my experience taking the time to fix something and make it new again is always valuable in and of itself!

Annie: Don’t ever let anyone else tell you what you’re capable of, don’t let others set your limits. Being your authentic self is the best thing you can be!
What’s the one thing people don’t know about you?
