Anya Freeman

Anya has always been adventurous – growing up in Ukraine, and moving with her family to Israel, and eventually the United States – she was determined to make the most of the opportunity that her parents gave her by coming to America. During her undergraduate career, Anya was never in one place for too long; living in South Africa and Shanghai, but she eventually landed in Miami when she got a scholarship to study law at UM.

After law school Anya worked for the US Attorney’s Office and clerked at the United States District Court before opening her own law firm, Freeman Law Group, focused on environmental policy and litigation. Inspired by first hand experience at her flooding house South Beach, and frustrated with lack of innovation around rising sea-levels, Anya took on the challenge of finding technological solutions to this global challenge that both supports the environment and has economies of scale.
