Annah Smith is a Lebanon local who graduated from Friendship Christian School in 2016, after attending there since first grade. From there she went to Freed-Hardeman University where she graduated summa cum laude in May of 2020. She obtained two degrees: a B.A. in Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations, and a B.A. in Photography. 

While she was a student at FHU she was involved in the leadership of her social club, Chi Beta Chi. She served as a community service representative, ads manager, and Makin Music director. She was also blessed to be able to study abroad for a semester in Europe.

Her love for communicating with young people and their families was fostered during her internship at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Seacrest Studios during the summer of 2019. She comes to CU after nearly a year of working as a photographer for LifeTouch school portraits. Annah is excited to begin her role at Cumberland to help students grow to love it here!
