about ann

experience

I bring more than twenty years of full-time, award-winning experience as a trusted and skilled writer in the nonprofit world.

This was mainly at one of the largest university systems in the U.S. and its flagship university, as well as with two state agencies and a nonprofit. 

Today, I work with nonprofits across Texas and far beyond.

awards 

My award-winning doctoral research taught me a lot about nonprofit storytelling. 

I was only the second graduate student to receive both the Dissertation of the Year Award and the T.M. Stinnett Award for Excellence in Scholarly Research.

In addition, my career has included:

selection for Leadership Texas (now Leadership Women), 
an Administrative Fulbright Grant to Japan, and 
numerous awards for both my creative writing and my professional work.

education

About to cross the stage for my Ph.D. Seems like yesterday!

I earned a B.A. in English from Hendrix College (Conway, Arkansas) and an M.Ed. and Ph.D. in higher education administration, with a focus on public relations, from Texas A&M University.
