Ann moved to Alaska from the Philippines when she was two years old and spent a lot of her elementary school summers on Kodiak Island with her grandparents.

Ann worked at FNBA as a commercial loan processor and an associate in Wells Fargo’s business banking division, where she worked closely with non-profits and small businesses. She enjoyed learning more about how our local non-profits help our kids and our community and had a lot of opportunities to volunteer for those programs. The passion to help people get closer to their financial goals brought Ann to CILC.

Ann enjoys camping, fishing, and hiking with my family in the summer, but also likes to get out of the cold and travel to warmer weather in the winter.
