Since 2007, Anderson has built a distinguished career at Arizona State University, gaining extensive experience in strategic communications, media relations, marketing, nonprofit leadership, event planning, and donor engagement. She currently serves as Executive Director of Branding and Communications for the Thunderbird School of Global Management. Previously, she was Director of Communications for the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, and before that, Manager of Marketing, Communications, and Stakeholder Relations for the ASU Lodestar Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation. Earlier roles include Director of Alumni Relations for the W. P. Carey School of Business and communications and event manager for the ASU Alumni Association.

Prior to joining ASU, Anderson served as Communications Coordinator for the Health Industry Business Communications Council and supported strategic communications for Honeywell Defense & Space Electronic Systems in Glendale, AZ.

A fifth-generation Arizonan and devoted Sun Devil, Anderson has held numerous leadership and civic roles, including president of the Sun Devil Club’s Young Professionals Group and vice president of the ASU Young Alumni Chapter. She is an alumna of Valley Leadership Class 36 and has been involved with Take The Lead Women, Emerging Leaders of Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network.

Anderson’s advocacy work is deeply personal. When her daughter, Alexandra, was diagnosed at 15 months old with Pitt Hopkins Syndrome—an ultra-rare neurodevelopmental disorder—she became a leading advocate for individuals with developmental disabilities and rare diseases. She currently serves as Chair of the City of Phoenix Mayor’s Commission on Disability Issues and as Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for United Cerebral Palsy of Central Arizona. She has also served on the Board of Directors for the Pitt Hopkins Research Foundation.

In January 2026, Anderson was appointed by the Governor of Arizona to serve as a caregiver representative on the Arizona Rare Disease Advisory Council. The Council was established through HB 2380—legislation Anderson helped advance—to advise the Arizona Department of Health Services on policies, education, and outreach related to the needs of individuals living with rare diseases across the state. She is also the CEO and Founder of RareiTees for a Cure, an online apparel brand dedicated to raising awareness for rare diseases, with 100% of proceeds supporting research.
