Anne (she/her/hers) joined the Illuminate team in November of 2015, and currently serves as the Director of Education. In her role, Anne has co-developed the Conversation Guide for Professionals on Substance Use, Children, & Families (a branch of the Smart Choices Safe Kids campaign), as well as trained and developed curriculum for professionals and communities across Colorado, including for the Colorado Child Welfare Training System. She is also the lead staff for the Child Abuse and Neglect Expert Staffing and the Strengthening Colorado Families and Communities Conference.  

Additionally, Anne is trained as a facilitator in a variety of areas including substance use and families, protective factors, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), abusive head trauma, and child sexual abuse prevention.

Anne's career choice, like many people who serve in the field of strengthening children, families, and communities, was influenced by personal reasons from past experiences or environments. “I personally do this work because I believe I have the opportunity through my experiences and knowledge to partner with others to make a positive change in the lives of families.” 

Having lived in many states and overseas, Anne eventually decided to return home to Colorado– there is no place like home, she says!
