Born with music in her veins, Ann was classically trained in voice and received her master's degree from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. As a professional opera singer, actor, and voice teacher, she worked many odd jobs and found herself immersed in the academic world of medical education. She later became a Speech Language Pathologist with a specialty in gender affirming voice and combined her love of music, voice, and education to help others. As a lifelong learner, she discovered audiobooks through her curious nature and love of science and true stories. With over 50 books recorded thus far, her favorite genres are non-fiction (self-improvement, growth & development) and mystery/thrillers because the "truth is stranger than fiction!"
