About

Anahi is an Assistant Professor in the Entomology Department of the College of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences. Urs is a massage therapist and an avid vegetable grower. Although Anahi is from Argentina and Urs is from Switzerland, they moved to College Park from northern Idaho – where Anahi was doing research. When she applied for the position at UMD, she discovered the Homeownership Program while she was researching the benefits of different universities, “when I was looking in at where to land, I saw this Program was a potential option for us,” After renting in University Park for a year, they decided to purchase a home in the same area. Said Urs, “We loved the University Park/Calvert Hills area – the big oak trees here are amazing: They draw imagery from Robin Hood, and there is a great trail network.”
