Educated at the University of Edinburgh and holding an M.Phil in Philosophy and Development Studies from Brighton’s Institute of Development Studies, Anoma's early career began in the Philippines in 1994, with a paid internship at the Asian Development Bank. She then spent six months with Asian Women’s Human Rights Council in Manila as an advocacy officer and actively took part in lobbying at UN seminars.

After spending a brief time conducting field research in Nepal for HELVETAS Swiss Interco-operation, Anoma then spent a year working with Sahaja International developing and implementing advocacy strategy, and consulting on participatory methodologies with the International Institute for Environment and Development. Brief stints in 1996 with the Women’s Environmental Network and OSCE followed, where Anoma worked as a campaign assistant and election supervisor respectively. With the latter, she oversaw and monitored elections in the Republika Srpska region of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

From mid-1996 to early 1997, Anoma then undertook work in Belarus, working on its first development co-operation report and helping train local government officials to incorporate concepts of sustainable development into their policy making through written manuals.

Following her work in Belarus, Anoma worked as a marketing assistant for Nortel for the majority of 1997, before becoming a research assistant for the Commonwealth Secretariat in 1998, providing desk-based research support to evaluation studies carried out by the Strategic Planning & Evaluation Unit.

Anoma spent the years 2000-2002 working with Yell.com as a customer services administrator and later as a database analyst. In 2002, she then made her first steps into the entrepreneurial world by taking on her own traditional tearoom business, The Crooked House of Windsor. She remained a director of the business until 2015.

During her period in charge of the tearoom, Anoma commenced her independent consultancy career and took over the running of Lady Flora by becoming business owner in 2016. It has since earned the accolade of Florist of the Year.

Anoma’s directorship of Glad Homes began in 2018, with Elustre and Il Mercato Italia joining her portfolio of companies in 2020.
