Anastasia Straley
For Anastasia Straley, moving to Chicago was a dream ten years in the making. She moved to the city in 2016 to join the Choose Chicago team after sprinkling stints her life throughout the Midwest and the South. As a visitor, she fell in love with the city’s constant creative energy and accessibility to world-class arts, architecture and public spaces; as a resident, she still adores those things—she just gets to talk about that (and so much more) all the time on social media. Get in touch with her personally as @arstraley on Twitter.
