Anne transitioned to commerce writing in 2022 and joined Travel + Leisure in 2024.

As an avid traveler who has been to 23 countries, Anne is always testing new products to make her trips even better. She rarely checks luggage, so she has a keen interest in carry-on luggage, backpacks, and space-saving items. She particularly loves viewing wildlife on her travels, whether that’s snorkeling for turtles in Hawaii, biking through Australia to see quokkas, or following whale migrations around the globe. When she’s not traveling, she’s usually working on her next novel or walking her dog, Pepper.

Anne graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a News Media emphasis.
