After graduation, Ann's passion for community, education, and technology led her to a career of assisting others through her different positions. Ann was a Director of Valley Hope, an Alcohol and Drug Abuse Out-Patient Center. She was a District Manager for Xerox Company and presided over the Employee Assistance Program.
