She believes everyone can experience abundant wealth in their lifetime and have all the money they need to live an unlimited life. That is why she is dedicated to inspiring, empowering, and liberating people to create a positive relationship with money, as well as providing them with simple, actionable, and effective tools to build wealth. By age 38, Ann achieved her own financial freedom, meaning she can now stop working whenever she chooses and her assets will continue earning her all the money she needs (and more) to live the lifestyle she wants forever. She didn’t have a family inheritance, a business she sold for millions, or a lucky win in the lottery. She simply taught herself to master the key ingredient to live an “unlimited life” — money. But before that, in her 20s, despite an excellent education and a successful career as a Civil Engineer, she was financially illiterate and drowning in debt. By learning how money really works and taking action, Ann was able to turn her life around. Currently based in South Africa, Ann is constantly gallivanting around the globe, speaking to audiences, helping people transform their money world, revelling in nature, and pursuing her curiosity about what a wealthy life means in different cultures and to different people. Ann is  living proof that no matter who you are, where you start in life, or what has happened in your past, you too can create financial freedom and live your unlimited life.
