Anna Burns

I started with Black Press Media in the fall of 2022 as a multimedia journalist after finishing my practicum at the Surrey Now-Leader. I am an award-winning photojournalist and love taking photos of people in their element.
I am passionate about telling stories about people and what they are passionate about. Mental health, non-profits and health care are some of my beats.
