Testimonials

  • “Grayling Education and Anna gave an awesome presentation for us! Attendees learned about using fly fishing as a vehicle for conservation, stewardship, and community building. Anna was engaging, personable, and approachable, and we enjoyed hosting her. Feedback from all the attendees was overwhelmingly positive! We look forward to having her back in the future!”

  • “Anna is a phenomenal educator who can engage her audience while facilitating highly informative and awe-inspiring lessons. I recently participated in a virtual education meeting about animal safety, surrounding habitat, behaviors, and characteristics. The presentation was creative and well-executed, fostering a supportive and enjoyable learning environment. I am grateful to Grayling Education for the world-class learning experience.”

  • “Anna took me fly fishing for the first time and showed me everything from how to tie a fly, choose a fly, cast, and de-hook a fish! Not only did I catch my first trout, but I gained a deep respect for the stream and its inhabitants. Anna is a great and patient instructor and makes for a great buddy in the river.”

    — Jason Davidoff

  • “Anna was very open and inviting, creating an inclusive space for young scientists to share their thoughts and feelings on identity and authenticity in science and science communication. Anna opened the door to these conversations that seem to be rarely talked about in the world of STEM.”

    — The Young Voices of Science (YVoS) Team

  • “Science is much more than data and results; it’s a compilation of a range of obstacles and unique personal experiences. In a space where many are taught to assimilate, Anna Le brought a workshop filled with validation and authenticity. She encouraged the YVoS cohort to connect with themselves and guided them to ways they could highlight themselves through their work. It was a privilege to witness!”

    — The YVoS Team

  • “Anna Le’s workshop on intersectionality and the importance of honoring other identities in our work lives invited much student engagement and vulnerable sharing both verbally and over the zoom chat feature. Anna read many of the students’ written responses out loud, acknowledging their stories and asking them to elaborate. While most of the YVoS expert presenters make space for students to share their thoughts, few have had the response we observed with Anna Le.”

    — The YVoS Team

  • “It was immediately apparent that Anna made participants feel comfortable through sharing her own vulnerabilities, which allowed other participants to feel comfortable matching her level of openness. This led to an incredibly special and valuable workshop.”

    — The YVoS Team

  • "We worked with Anna to host an Intro to Flyfishing workshop in late 2024 and had a really wonderful experience. Anna and her team were very professional and thoughtful in their approach to co-creating this program with us, taking all of our input and incorporating it into the workshop. The curriculum they put together was very comprehensive and covered topics such as knot-tying, macroinvertebrates, how to read the water, and casting lessons. Anna also led a great activity at the start of the workshop that grounded us in our relationships to water and fishing, leading us to reflect on our cultural and ancestral connections to water. Overall, I would highly recommend Anna to any group that is interested in culturally-relevant programming and beginner flyfishing workshops. She is a wonderful facilitator and collaborator!"
