She studied with Jeff Davis and became a carillonneur member of the Guild of Carillonneurs of North America (GCNA) in 2022. Anderson co-organized Berkeley Carillon Festivals in 2023 and 2024 and serves as a member of the GCNA Bulletin committee. She works as a postdoctoral scholar doing biology research at the University of California, San Francisco.
