Ann Davis, USA & Colombia

Ann Davis graduate from Tulane and immediately joined Teach for America where she taught in New Orleans. About a year into her teaching assignment, Ann was out running with some friends when she experienced a jolting feeling in her leg. She felt to the ground and suffered a seizure. Two weeks later, she was diagnosed with brain cancer. At this point her priorities shifted and she eventually created Venture With Impact, a coworking retreat that engages professionals on a 30-day skills-based volunteering project while they work remotely for their jobs, allowing them to develop professionally, rediscover purpose, and in the process, provide a positive social impact.
