Ann Gennaro's Bio

Born and raised just outside of Philadelphia, Ann Gennaro is a city girl through and through. So, for college, she decided to try to make it in “The City.” Successfully graduating from New York University with degrees in Economics and Communications, Ann decided not to follow her peers into wealthy career paths. Rather, after a profound encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist, she answered the call to serve as a missionary with FOCUS (the Fellowship of Catholic University Students).

Continuing to follow the Lord’s (sometimes weird and whacky) call, she up and moved to Boston to coordinate events and manage projects for the Secretariat for Evangelization and Discipleship. But in the midst of all that coordinating, the Lord reawakened her desire to tell stories so Ann joined the team at MK3 Creative, a marketing agency and production company. She climbed the ladder and became Senior Producer, working on the company’s largest accounts and most complicated videos. While it was an adrenaline rush she thoroughly enjoyed, Ann chose to bring her skills back to the Church, so she could work with a mission (and with better work-life boundaries).

But Ann isn’t all work and prayer, in her free time you can find her logging miles throughout the city with her running group Forest Hills Runners, watching a classic black and white film, or sitting out on her back deck reading book after book after book…
