Ann Naimish has a BSc (University of Alberta) in Foods and Nutrition and an MPH degree (Master of Public Health) from the University of Leeds, UK. She practiced as a registered dietitian for almost twenty years in clinical and public health as well as teaching for Athabasca University and Mount Royal University (Nutrition). Currently she’s managing a small business with her husband while still promoting evidence based best practices for different life areas from the personal to the global. Ann is descended from a long line of liberal thinkers and politicians with her maternal grandfather a Liberal premier of Manitoba for ten years. Her father, however, was a strong conservative, giving her early exposure to differing perspectives. With HAPPIER Humans, she hopes to introduce readers to humanism as a philosophy that is inclusive and can bring all people to common ground.
