Ann has offered administrative support to a variety of National Life Group business areas, including Career Distribution, Talent Acquisition and now has roots in the Financial Management Group.
Before joining National Life, Ann worked as a Community Relations Coordinator for an ATOD Prevention Coalition, an assistant regional manager/trainer in the automotive industry, and helped transform the family auto repair business.
Words are a passion for Ann that whenever possible, she has woven into the context of both her personal and professional pursuits. An avid reader of the classics, historical fiction and anything tied to leadership keeps her perspective fresh. She adamantly believes that both reading and the physical act of handwriting are inextricably linked to critical thinking.
When not writing, Ann enjoys time with her family (including two elderly dogs), swimming, baking, kayaking and life at the lake. She and her husband built the house in which they now live, and are currently on their second build.
