About Anne
Everything begins with a dream. Everything begins with a vision. Nothing can be accomplished without an authentic belief in yourself. And nothing can be sustained until one learns the value of giving back.
My vision began with my first job in Honolulu, Hawaii. A savvy employer at a PR firm where I was hired required that every new employee read two books as a pre-requisite of employment: Norman Vincent Peale's "The Power of Positive Thinking" and Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People". The underlying message of these two iconic best-sellers made it all seem easy, i.e., you can if you THINK you can and one can never underestimate the importance of meaningful relationships with others.
Entrepreneur/Publishing & Marketing
Specializing in Beauty, Health & Wellness
Health and Wellness are in my DNA, beginning with my father who was an Army Colonel in the Medical Service Corps and my grandmother, a hospital nutritionist. Early on, I was inspired to go into healthcare but not as a medical professional. Rather, my path would take me into publishing...first, publishing review manuals for doctors to pass their Boards... then establishing a publishing imprint to market and publish medical authors... and finally to launch an award-winning consumer magazine in beauty, health and wellness.
Today, I have the joy of working as an Acquisitions Editor at a top Manhattan publishing house, scouting for that manuscript that can become a best seller!
