Ania Kuntz

Ania Kuntz was born in Springfield, Massachusetts and was raised in the small immigrant suburb of Indian Orchard until the age of 13 when her family moved to Ludlow, another immigrant suburb, with a better school system. Her mother's name is Janina (Jane) and her father's name is Wladyslaw (Walter). She has two younger sisters, Danuta (Diane or Danusia or Nusia) and Elzbieta (Ela or Elizabeth). At Ludlow High School, Kuntz was involved in student government, sports, and theater. She joined the Navy at age 17 with the hopes of retiring at 45 and running for President. While waiting for bootcamp, the on-going Tailhook scandal rocked her universe and derailed her path. Instead, Kuntz attended New York University, where she majored in Finance and International Business with a minor in French. She studied French Theater at NYU Paris during her semester abroad and fell madly in love with art.
