Anna Brennan, Miss Twin Cities, is a full-time student, published journalist, political enthusiast, and media literacy advocate. Attending the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, she plans to pursue a career in law and media, combining a background in journalism and politics with ambitions to serve as a news anchor, Capitol Hill correspondent, or national campaign strategist.
As she pursues a career in journalism, she recognizes the impact of modern media on society. Combining her media education and life experiences as a member of the digital generation, she advocates for media literacy education through her initiative, Media WELL. Since its creation in 2023, Media WELL has reached over 60,000 social media users and impacted over 400 elementary students in the state of Minnesota.
