Having quit my studies at the university, Ann tried a lot of temporary works-the teacher, the head of the women's shelter, the cook in the ornithological observatory, in the auxiliary coastal guard, before returning to the college and undergoing an officer for conditionally free release.

Preparing food in a bird observatory on Fera-Eil, she met her husband Tim, a visiting ornithologist.
