A two-time nominee for the North Carolina Symphony's Best Educator Award, Anderson founded and directed the Triad Chamber Music concert series and the Young Performers Workshop in North Carolina. Through these initiatives, she produced multiple chamber music concerts and organized workshops that taught young musicians collaborative skills, culminating in student performances throughout the region. Both programs garnered significant recognition, being featured in articles and interviews by WFDD Public Radio and the Winston-Salem Journal.

Her teaching experience has included giving masterclasses at Duke University, East Carolina University, and Appalachian State University, and teaching cello and chamber music at UNC Charlotte, Queens University of Charlotte, the UNC School of the Arts Summer Chamber Music Institute, and the MYCO chamber music program in Chapel Hill. Anderson is sought internationally for masterclasses, working with students at Universidad Nacional San Agustín in Arequipa, Peru, in both 2025 and 2026. She has served as a competition adjudicator for UNC Chapel Hill's concerto competition, the American String Teachers Association, and Music Teachers National Association competitions. Anderson has shared her insights on arts and entrepreneurship as a guest speaker at Wake Forest University's Center for Creativity and Innovation and at the North Carolina Cello Society.
