She has spent 14 years at the Compass Corporate Payroll Office before moving to the field with Levy Food and Beverage five years ago, for a total of 19 years in the industry this June.

Her career began in various business roles including account management and business office manager, progressing through positions such as accounting assistant and Director of Business and Finance at a kids' facility before entering payroll, which opened doors to broader business aspects and led her toward HR. She graduated from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks after attending public high school in a small town in North Dakota, where she grew up on a farm. Ann attributes her success to great mentors who took a chance on her early in her career, along with brilliant and smart leadership that taught her to look at details, think ahead, and not expect things to be handed to her. She values hard work, dedication, and honesty with herself and others. In her role, she handles event days involving concerts or basketball games, assisting associates, ensuring smooth operations, and interacting with guests and team members to create great experiences. She sees opportunities in using AI to make processes faster and smarter while preserving the people aspect, and notes challenges in hospitality post-COVID, such as attracting workers and managing guest expectations.
