Hannalise Anderson, Administrative Assistant – Lindley Health

Q. Tell us a little about yourself.
I grew up in Montana and attended Montana Technological University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in business and information technology. I moved to Lexington this past fall to join my fiancé, Nicholas, who attends W&L Law.

Q. Any favorite Lexington spots or regional activities?
Nick and I love going to Season’s Yield Bakery & Café for coffee and pastries, Wildberry Market for protein shakes and Hardens for smash burgers and cocktails.

Q. How do you unwind or have fun? Any hobbies or hidden talents?
After moving to Lexington, we adopted two kittens who we love to play with and take on walks. I also enjoy art, spending time with friends, watching reality TV and cooking.

Anza Harker, Director of Compensation – Human Resources

Q. Tell us a little about yourself.
I’m a native Ohioan and proud Ohio University alumna (Go Bobcats!). I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina after graduation to start my professional journey. Since then, I’ve met my husband, welcomed two daughters, and earned a master’s degree in human resources from Western Carolina University. We’re thrilled to trade Raleigh traffic for the scenic beauty of Lexington. With a preschooler and an elementary-aged daughter in tow, we’re looking forward to getting involved in the local community. Our oldest is already counting down the days until our first mountain adventures!

Q. Any favorite Lexington spots or regional activities?
We are looking forward to trading the Raleigh city skyline for the mountains and the Maury River! As Lexington newcomers, we can’t wait to explore the local breweries, parks and the farmers market. We welcome your recommendations for “kid-friendly” adventures — if you have a favorite hiking trail, a go-to lunch spot or a local tradition we shouldn’t miss, please let us know!

Q. How do you unwind or have fun? Any hobbies or hidden talents?
Estate sales and antiquing are some of our favorite ways to spend the weekend — we love the hunt for a unique find! You can also find us at the park, bike riding and scootering, or exploring local restaurants. We are big fans of the local food scene, and we’ve already made it our mission to sample every ice cream shop in town.

Q. How do you unwind or have fun? Any hobbies or hidden talents?
In my free time I enjoy trout fishing!

Q. What is the best advice anyone has ever given you?
The best advice I’ve been given is to work hard, stay humble, and keep learning no matter how much experience you have.
