Ann Hovey, M.S.
Contributing Editor (Economics and International Business)
—————————————–
Ann’s roots and interest in the space program started as a young child in the Cape Canaveral, FL area, during the race to the moon as her father worked on the Mercury, Gemini and early Apollo missions. Raised in the excitement and close social atmosphere so well portrayed in the movie “Apollo 13,” she watched every missile launch at the Cape and tracked the shots “downrange” during the space program’s early years. Her areas of academic study include International Relations, Foreign Policy, Economics, and Public Policy, with specific interest in mathematical modeling and forecasting. With previous careers as an artist/entrepreneur and a consultant on load forecasting, capitalization and economic development, she currently works in education.
