With over 30 years in the business world I am valuable resource to your business.
For a few years I worked with a local Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Association. In addition, I have been a Business Consultant for the Small Business Development Center. Plus, I have over 20 years in the insurance industry. For four years, I supervised 20 employees at State Farm Insurance. Then I had experience as an independent insurance agent.
Then near the beginning of my career, I was a teacher for a few years.
In my career I have done everything from running successful Kickstarters to organizing many events.

From early on Ann enjoyed creating and art.
As a little child she would draw, sew or bake. Then in Junior Highschool she sewed shirts for each of her three brothers as Christmas gifts. The love of sewing continued for many years. Ann enrolled in every art class she could take in school from drawing to pottery.
Then, in college she discovered the world of card making and stamps. Her mind exploded with all the variety of designs you can make with a simple rubber stamp.
For many years, she was immersed in her corporate career and put aside the creative aspect of her life. A few years ago she met friends who also loved making cards. Ann jumped back into creating cards then expanding into mixed media.
Every week Ann makes time for creating. She is always learning new techniques through classes and watching videos.
Creating is a joy and therapy for Ann.
To find Ann's art in Northern Colorado it is available at Sanderosa Art Gallery, Grace Yoga, and Canyon Collectables. Or you can go online to her Redbubble account. Also, online with Fine Arts America.
Ann's Autobiography:
In 2020, I wrote my autobiography. I had turned 60 years old in that year. Seemed like a good time to reflect and see what I learned from living these past 60 years.
" The warmth of the Colorado sun comes thru the windows as I savor my morning coffee with my loving husband and puppies around me. I have a good life. Going back over 60 years, a small, scrawny baby was left at the front door of Holt Adoption Agency many miles away in crowded Seoul, South Korea. That fragile baby hanging on to a thread of life was named Adela Kim. And this is my journey from South Korea to America. From feeling Abandoned to feeling Loved. "
Locally in Northern Colorado you may find the book at Sanderosa Art Gallery, Suh Sushi Korean BBQ and direct from me. Online you may find in on Amazon here or on Barnes and Noble here
