Anne grew up boating in the San Juan islands in the Pacific NW of the USA and remembers seeing Orca whales passing by as she did her homework on the beach near her childhood home in Olympia, Washington.  She is a Biology major with a minor in Animal Behavior, and has worked as a zoo keeper at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo and trained wild animals for educational outreach programs in schools, teaching wildlife appreciation and respect.  She also trained animals, both wild & domestic for the TV & film industry for over 20 years.

Anne pioneered the whale watching industry in the country of Panama.  She owns and operates Whale Watching Panama and is dedicated to offering responsible and respectful whale and dolphin watching tours.  

Anne also offers magical 5 day spiritual Whale and Dolphin Wisdom Retreats where you will open an intimate and transformational connection with the whales and dolphins in the tropical paradise of the Pearl islands, Panama and with Gray whales in Mexico.
