Ann is a New Orleans Native and Culture Bearer whose volunteer work began at age14 with the American Red Cross, which led to her becoming a Candy Striper at the New Orleans V. A. Hospital.

Her goal is to help survivors take control of their mental health as they navigate our complex social climate.
