Our Team
I was raised on a farm in the Ashland area. After I graduated, I spent two years in Bible school. Those two years were pivotal in my walk with the Lord; setting a foundation for years of ministry in the states and overseas. Over the last ten years God has been tuning my heart to stand in the gap for the unborn and support families in need and see the restoration of family as God intended.
Creating an honest, authentic, and God honoring culture in the workplace and in the community is a direct result of my love for God. We, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, are a part of the body. We each play a role in reaching our community with the Gospel. With deep faith and belief that the Gospel alone is the hope for our world; I am committed to the vision of the center.
Serving our community is a great honor and I am humbled that God would take a small-town ordinary girl like me and use me in extraordinary ways for His kingdom.
Anika Anderson
Executive Director
I was raised in a small town in New Mexico, where I developed a strong foundation in customer service. After spending two years at a Christian university in Kentucky, I went on to earn my Bachelor from West Texas A&M University. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in healthcare, radiology, operations management, and insurance—experiences that have helped shape the way I lead and serve today.
I’ve had the honor of participating in mission work overseas in Mexico, Ecuador, Israel, and South Korea. Those experiences deepened my desire to create an honest, authentic, and God-honoring culture—both in the workplace and in the wider community. Every day, by God’s grace, I get to serve others with compassion, lead with conviction, and help bring the hope of Christ to our community.
Annette Dallager
Center Director - Hayward
I was born and raised here in Ashland WI and have built such a love for this community and area. In 2021, I accepted Jesus into my heart and have watched how God’s great hand has transformed me into the woman he is calling me to be. After I graduated high school I continued my career in the healthcare system as a CNA and then later CPHT. I wanted to keep searching for fulfilling work that glorified God and advocate and present eternal truth to those most vulnerable and in need of guidance. The last five years of my life I truly feel that God was preparing me to be exactly where I am now. I am so humbled to be part of this community and body of Christ to prevent abortion and present eternal truth. I believe that every baby is loved and deserves life—because life begins at conception.

Bio to come
JEssica Knight
Nurse - Ashland
I'm a retired homeschool mom who treasures time with my husband, kids, and grandkids, and enjoys biking, reading, thrifting, camping, and being near Lake Superior. After more than 30 years of homeschooling and helping run our family's dairy farm, I pursued further training in biblical counseling. That path opened the door to serve at the pregnancy center, first as the office manager, and now as the client care manager. In this role, I use my background in teaching, ministry, and administration to support coaches, encourage clients through life challenges, and help foster strong families. I count it a blessing to work alongside my daughter and a dedicated team with a shared passion for providing compassionate, Christ-centered care.
Bekki Anderson
Client Care Manager
I was born and raised in a small Christian community in Nagercoil, South India.
My parents were very devoted, Christ-centered, and raised me and my two sisters with Judeo-Christian values. After completing high school, I went to North India to study nursing. I graduated as an RN in 1992 from a Presbyterian mission school. I ventured into working in foreign countries, which took me to Saudi Arabia and Jamaica. I earned my master’s in nursing education at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica. In 2014, God blessed me with an opportunity to work in the USA as a nurse educator.
Since my college days, I have been passionate about being a pro-life advocate. Every child is created in the image of our Creator, and I consider it the utmost privilege and understand the need to protect the unborn. God has gifted me with two sons, and they are the greatest blessing in my life.
I am pleased to be part of Echo Health, as they are devoted to protecting the unborn. Praise the Lord!
