Founder and Principal
Anne is the founder and principal of Weathervane Consulting.
She draws on 15 years of program development, coordination and management, and research and evaluation experience. Her diverse work experience spans from prevention to treatment, individuals to communities, youth to older individuals, qualitative to quantitative, and substance use treatment to cancer prevention to positive youth development programs.
Anne obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and then worked for several years before obtaining her Master of Public Health degree at UCLA. Her background in the field of psychology gives her a strong sense of how mental illness and substance use affects individuals and families. However, her public health lens keeps her focused on systemic and community change and social and health equity. She is passionate about health and wellness and she views both with a holistic lens that includes mental, emotional, physical, social, and environmental health.
