About Ann Valery

Ann Valery's mother insists she started talking at 10 months and hasn't shut up since. So it was no surprise that Ann became a lecturer to nurses, diabetic patients — anyone who would listen in fact. She went on to become a Hospital CEO and later CEO of a Medical Peak Body based in Canberra.

Along life's journey she has also been a registered nurse, shop owner, dressmaker, and even a budding artist. Her father is proud of her Masters degree; Ann is more proud of her qualifications and experience from the school of hard knocks.

She lives with her selectively deaf husband on their farm in the beautiful Bega Valley.
