Dr Ann grew up in southern Wisconsin, the daughter of a veterinarian.  Two years after graduation from vet school, she moved to Vilseck, Germany, to care for pets owned by US military families.

Returning to the US in 2002, she married fellow veterinarian, Charlie Marchand.  They purchased a home in Carroll county in 2006, where they live with their 3 naughty cats.

Dr Ann also uses acupuncture to improve patients’ lives.  It is especially helpful in arthritis and neurological cases.

In her spare time, Dr Ann enjoys knitting socks, baking cookies, and traveling.
