Ann considers themselves an explorer in all aspects of life, whether out on the trail or at home. They find new adventures every day through books and reading, always connecting seemingly disparate or opposed concepts. While exploring these new theories and models, they blend ideas to see what works, looking for new paths to take to reach solutions that could help improve the world around them.

At PSC, Ann’s inner explorer finds its feet on the energy and environment team. As a senior consultant, they cultivate new project opportunities and clients that contribute to strong, sustainable communities. In the day to day, Ann laser-focuses on climate change, sustainability, and community resilience, offering their expertise in planning, engagement, strategy development, mitigation, assessment, and capacity building to create effective outcomes for their clients and partners. Their history of connecting, convening, and curating a multitude of initiatives, programs, and policies has created positive change across the state.

Before joining PSC, Ann held a multidisciplinary career leading organizational change and accelerating initiatives in social justice, sustainability, and community resilience. They served as chief sustainability officer with Michigan State University, focusing on core business integration of sustainability into policy. They also acted in a number of capacities for organizations like the West Michigan Environmental Action Council, Michigan Diversity Education Center, and Association of Climate Change Officers.
