Anna Griffin
PROJECT COORDINATOR + TEAM ADMINISTRATOR
“Do the mahi and get the treats’’ is a strictly enforced policy that Anna’s gran always used and has stayed with the Mount Maunganui-born girl.
Anna’s gran was the most influential person in her life growing up. Though her gran would never say who her favourite person was, Anna was 99% sure it was her. Reflecting on her grandmother's influence, Anna recalls her as being "strong, overcoming whatever came her way, never complaining, emphasising the positive in every situation, and having at least two coffees a day." This has influenced Anna in the way she lives her life.
Anna has lived in Canterbury and Taranaki but always comes back to the Bay. With a genuine passion for helping people and a desire to give back, she thought she would become a nurse when she was growing up. However, when her grandmother needed care a semester into nursing training, Anna moved back to Tauranga to be closer and went into the fast-paced world of fashion retail. She loved making people feel good about themselves, and with no two days the same, retail was a great fit, which developed into a love for leading a team.
“I love learning, growth, and a challenge, so this was me to a tee.”
Anna joined Envelope in 2023 to get things in order at the Mount Maunganui office, and right from the start, Anna described the feeling of it being one big family.
‘’The people and the culture were second to none, with a genuine care for each other and work-life balance’’. Anna appreciates and values the knowledge her co-workers share.
Outside of work, Anna loves spending time with family and friends, especially over a good cup of coffee and food (the spicier, the better), and bonus points if there’s pickles or coriander. One of Anna's favourite cuisines is Indian, with a nice glass of wine.
In her downtime, she will be snuggled up with her cat Archie or adventuring with her dog Blu. Anna loves watching rugby league, union, and UFC with the boys; however, she makes sure to balance this out by shopping with the girls.
