My sister-in-law is just an amazing individual. She’s one of those people with so much energy, you get tired just being in the same room with her! But she puts all of that fabulous energy to good use. She does management consulting in the video games industry, which, as we all know, is not exactly the bastion of feminism. She does a huge amount of charity work (she was President of the Board of Directors for Room to Read Canada), and she is extremely active in the sport of Ultimate. She has been on several championship teams, and last year in Finland, her team (the Canadian National Team) won the gold medal at the World Ultimate Championships. And this was at the age of 41!
Anja has been working in England for the last year or so, and while there she has been active, of course, in the Ultimate scene there. Well, I just heard that Anja has been asked to coach the British National team! Hooray for Anja!
Ladies, if you want a female role model for your children, Anja is you gal. She’s smart, funny, caring, energetic, fit, and never gives up. She works in a male dominated industry and gets ahead not by being catty and petty, but just by being really fabulous at her job. Anja, this one’s for you, hon!

With a strong name like that, you would expect her to be less? LOL

That’s great - I wish we could bottle up her energy and drive and drink a little every day. She sounds like a great lady!
