Anika was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta. Growing up, she had a pet dog, as well as many fish, frogs, and hermit crabs. She has always had a love for animals, and at many times considered pursuing a career as a veterinarian or a marine biologist. After completing schooling in different fields, she graduated from NAIT with her certificate in Veterinary Medical Assisting in the spring of 2024. While Anika currently has no pets of her own, she someday hopes to have both cats and dogs (as soon as she can pick a breed).
In her free time, she enjoys playing volleyball, surfing, skiing, or doing pretty much anything outdoors.
