Anita Peterson, CRNA, came to the United States in 1986 after growing up in Germany. She regularly visited a public library, utilizing its services to gain command of the English language. In 1996, Anita earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC).

After graduation, Anita was employed by the Anesthesiology Consultants Exchange, anesthesia providers for Erlanger Medical Center, a Level1 trauma center in Chattanooga with an associated Children's Hospital.

When away from the hospital, Anita enjoys spending time with her two dogs, hiking, skiing, and traveling back to Germany to visit family and friends.
