A former investigative journalist, Ann thrived in high-pressure environments covering everything from natural disasters to high-stakes trials. She was there in the heart of crises: leaping into a Black Hawk helicopter after a Category 5 hurricane, racing into wildfires alongside firefighters, and confronting the aftermath of gang-related shootings. These experiences sharpened her ability to uncover the heart of a story and connect deeply with those behind it.
Ann’s transition into corporate communications further showcased her unique ability to craft compelling narratives. As Director of Communications at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, she played a pivotal role in securing the organization’s first-ever ranking among U.S. News & World Report’s top 50 cancer centers. Her strategic storytelling efforts resulted in a media reach of 5.1 billion and a media ad value of $47.2 million, driving measurable success for the organization.
In 2018, Ann’s own life was upended when she was diagnosed with cancer just weeks before her wedding. This deeply personal experience transformed her approach to coaching and speaking, reinforcing her commitment to authentic storytelling and the power of resilience.
Today, as the founder of Dux Communications, Ann partners with leaders across diverse industries, refining their messaging, enhancing their leadership presence, and crafting narratives that resonate in high-stakes situations. A certified executive coach with a Global Executive MBA from the University of Miami, Ann delivers tailored strategies that increase influence, build credibility, and drive meaningful results.
