Since 2017, Ann Parnes has dedicated herself to the art of matchmaking, skillfully bringing people together and nurturing lasting connections.
Ann’s expertise was developed through a varied and extensive professional background. Prior to her venture into the realm of love and relationships, Ann served as an attorney for 14 years, including seven impactful years as an Assistant District Attorney. Her experience in the legal field honed her intuition and sharpened her ability to understand people’s motivations, as well as to discern sincerity and truthfulness, skills that have been invaluable in her role as a matchmaker and relationship coach.
In 2014, Ann received her coaching certification, which laid the foundation for her to start Match Made in NOLA in 2017, a personalized matchmaking and coaching service in New Orleans. She has also attended numerous professional conferences, including the Matchmaking Alliance Conference and the Global Love Conference, and earned her Love MBA from renowned matchmaker Rachel Greenwald. This past year, she joined forces with Maria Murray, who brings a background in operations and recruitment, to expand nationally and rebrand as After Hello. Together, they have established a network of matchmakers across the country, all trained in their unique methods of connecting people based on shared visions, values, and vibes. This enables them to assist professional singles nationwide who are serious about finding healthy, long-term relationships.
At "After Hello," Ann employs a personalized approach to matchmaking, ensuring each match is thoughtfully considered and genuinely compatible. Ann's philosophy is that life is infinitely better when shared with the right partner – a belief that drives her commitment to guide clients towards loving, healthy relationships. As "After Hello" grows, Ann remains dedicated to creating lasting connections and helping clients discover love in its most authentic and healthiest form.
