Meet Layna

Layna Anderson has lived in the Lansing area for her entire adult life. Upon graduating from Michigan State University, Layna realized that Lansing was the perfect place to call home; it was diverse in population, full of parks and public art, home to many festivals and delicious restaurants, and of course, close to her beloved MSU.

 

It took a few years for her to decide on the perfect Lansing neighborhood, but in 2016 Layna finally purchased a house in the eclectic and convenient Eastside neighborhood, where she still lives today.

From 2014-2019, Layna served as the communications and marketing manager for Downtown Lansing Inc., a pseudo-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and enhancing Lansing’s downtown. During her tenure with DLI, she fell even more in love with the City of Lansing.

Since leaving DLI in 2019, Layna has been working in communications at MSU.

During her free time, Layna enjoys running, reading, attending Lansing Lugnuts games, eating yummy food (but not cooking it – luckily Lansing has plenty of great dining options!), River Trail walks with her dog Ruby, traveling to other cities, drinking a Michigan beer at a dive bar, and delighting friends with random Lansing facts.
