About the Director

Ann joined William & Mary in fall 2025 after previously serving as Director of Sustainability at VCU. She also spent more than two decades in Asia, where she worked in higher education and the nonprofit sector. She served as the first Sustainability Manager at the University of Hong Kong, an urban research and teaching university with approximately 30,000 students. At the Asia Society Hong Kong Center, her work included multi-level program development and a landmark historic preservation and adaptive reuse project, now the Society’s permanent home.

Originally from New York, Ann is a lifelong learner with degrees from Smith College (BA), Columbia University (MIA), and the University of Hong Kong (PhD). Outside of work, she loves biking and racket sports, learning about Virginia flora and fauna, messing about in boats, and keeping up with family and friends.
