I am a multimedia communicator and journalist, with a particular interest in culture, travel, religion and military life.I recently made the switch from working for magazines and newspapers to writing, editing and other communications tasks for Semper Fi & America’s Fund, a non-profit that supports wounded and critically ill service members, veterans and military families.I have two decades of experience with writing, editing, multimedia formats and compelling storytelling. While I’ve been mostly with non-profit publications, working to get these smaller voices heard among many larger ones, I have also contributed to national publications.I most enjoy writing feature stories, especially profiles, where I get to delve into a person or persons’ story through in-depth research and reporting.Originally from Hawaii, I live with my husband, two kids and our mini schnauzer. Relocating to San Diego as of January 2025. I love British detective movies/TV/books, photography, travel and getting the NYT Connections puzzle correct on the first go-around.A note on my name: I generally go by Anna Weaver for work and my writing byline. But in my private life and if you've worked with me through volunteering or other organizational work, I go by Anna Lopiccolo.
