Ann has worked in public relations and marketing for more than 15 years.  As a publicist and special events director for Warner Bros. Pictures, she worked on films such as The Matrix, Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence and the first two Harry Potter films.  She was named “One of the Top 15 Most Influential Event Planners in New York City” by an entertainment industry trade publication.  After the birth of her son, she gave up the glamorous life (and the hour-long commute) to work closer to home, handling public relations and marketing for a natural products company in Wilton and a local author/physician.  In addition to writing for Patch.com, she has written for magazines and Web sites in England, New Zealand and in the United States. 

Ann resides in both Westport and Norwalk (the town line divides her back yard) with her husband, son and pug.
