Annette develops the communications and media strategies and programs for the California-Nevada region. Based in Los Angeles, Annette joined TWS in 2009.

Annette was the communications manager for the Coalition for Clean Air, a California environmental non-profit. She spent two decades as a reporter and editor at newspapers in several states, including the Lexington-Herald Leader, the Daily News of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Times. She also edited a non-fiction book for a fellow journalist.

Annette has a BA from Occidental College and a MS from the Columbia University School of Journalism. She was also an International Fellow at Columbia, and considers some of her best education the time spent traveling and working abroad in Asia and Europe.

When she can’t be a global gypsy, Annette likes to hike, backpack, hunt for exotic food, do Pilates, garden and paint.
