Wanting a warm and supportive community for her family to settle in, Ann Chatterton has "finally" arrived in Corbett! Starting out life as one of seven children in Syracuse, New York, Ann has always been a hard worker. As a young adult, she earned two degrees with the help of scholarships and a strong work ethic.The first school she attended after high school was the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, graduating in 1986. Ann had the opportunity to work in the Empire State Building for a men's wholesale firm, then moved to Miami and worked for the Elizabeth Arden Salon, pampering the cast of "Miami Vice" on a regular basis. Next came a move to San Diego with work at a publishing company. After 10 months, Ann headed back to the east coast with a new plan....beginning work on a nursing degree! A move to New Mexico followed with a specialization in kidney transplant. Moving to Portland later gave her opportunity to become a clinical manager at OHSU. Not one to slow done for too long, she met and married her husband, Paul in 1997. After a few years of living in Portland, the kids came along. Zoe is now ten, and Zach is eight. July 1, 2011 the Chatterton's moved into Corbett. Having traveled all over the U.S. and abroad, Ann really appreciates all the diversity found in Corbett. She is fascinated with the people she has met so far. Her favorite part of their home/property is the barn. The family inherited two goats from the previous owners, and Ann says she easily loses track of time when she is with them. There is also an inherited barn cat, Mandy who is 16 years old. Now a stay at home mom, Ann cannot wait to start helping out with the Corbett 4H program that her kids have become involved with. Currently she volunteers at the school two hours a week with math, and would like to help in other areas as well. Maybe as a nurse on a field trip or using her medical background to help others through a different channel.... Her mind continues to stay open all the many possibilities!
