Founder, Director of Partnerships & Community Strategy
Anastasia Page
Anastasia has lived many lives. Before New York City they lived in Chicago, juggling non-profit coordination while working as a documentary photographer.
After moving to New York City they worked in the high-end fashion industry as a producer. In the Spring of 2019 they woke up from a week-long coma. An auto-immune response caused a massive lung hemorrhage and nearly took their life. This re-ignited a drive and passion to work closely to help people.
Anastasia now freelances as a consultant while pursuing their Masters in Clinical Social Work from NYU. They are currently training in trauma-informed care for adults with severe mental illness.
Their experience as a non-profit coordinator, documentary photographer, producer, and social worker in-training provides them with the skills needed to oversee the efforts of The Lions Share NYC.
