Her father Sam earned both a Ph.D. and J.D. from Duquesne University where he later chaired the department of history and served as a respected law professor. Her mother was an elementary school teacher at St. Simon & Jude Parish in Scott Township. After graduating from Bishop Canevin High School, Anita followed in her father’s footsteps and attended Duquesne University where she received both her undergraduate and law degrees.

Anita has over twenty-five years of legal experience, serving both as an appellate law clerk and private practitioner.

In addition to building a successful legal practice, Anita has always demonstrated a commitment to her community.  Prior to her election to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, Anita served for twelve years as a Kennedy Township Commissioner where she garnered a reputation for transparency and effective governance. While Commissioner, Anita took on numerous additional responsibilities, including the annual Community Days program, and serving as a representative to the Char West Council of Government. She devoted both her time and talents to protecting children through the Attorney General’s “Operation Safe Surf” program, an endeavor educating families about online predators, and by serving as an Allegheny County Children’s Court Custody Guardian.
