Anna was educated at ISM and IUM and had worked for a well-known family office in Monaco and for a number of real estate companies in the Principality.
According to reports it was Damien Carew who called the emergency services after last week’s incident.

He and his wife are listed as directors of a UK company, Sterling Estates International, which was registered firstly in Monaco at the Annonciade address and later at 120 Baker Street, London. A third person, Natalie Louise Carew (36), of Portsea, Victoria, Australia, had been a director from August 25, 2017, until she resigned from the company on December 3, 2017, to be replaced by Anna. The company was dissolved in May 2021.
