TEAM MEMBER
HIGHLIGHT

ANN
HILL
Sales Administration Support
What do you like most about your job?
First and foremost, I love the people. Everyone I work with and around is amazing. When I started this job, I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but it has proved to be one of the best jobs I have ever had. Learning the ins and outs of HR while also working with the sales team and about every other department, I have gained so much knowledge in the two and a half years I have been here.
What did you do before you came to work here?
I was a sales associate at Orangetheory Fitness and before then I worked at a little burger place on the PSU campus while I was in college. I learned a lot in those positions and I can confidently say they set me up for success.
What do you like to do on the weekends?
You will most likely find me hanging out with my fiancé or building Lego's. If I am not doing that, I am probably attending a wedding, baby shower, bridal shower, engagement party, or a regular ole birthday.
Where did you go on your last vacation?
Not sure this counts as a true vacation, but I went to North Dakota for my best friends wedding. It's not the most lavish vacation spot, but everything is pretty inexpensive there so I wasn't complaining!
What is something unique or surprising about you?
When I was younger I used to collect Starburst wrappers. It is still my favorite candy but my collection got too big so I had to stop (per my moms orders).
When you were a little kid, what did you want to do when you grew up?
I wanted to be a photographer. I love/d the idea of capturing a moment in time and being able to look back at it years later. Thankfully iPhones are pretty high tech nowadays and I have a camera in my pocket 24/7.
What is your claim to fame?
During tech month here at Alliant Systems, I won an iPad. I'll be *more* famous one day though, mark my words!
Do you have any pets?
My fiancé and I are planning on getting a dog or cat after our wedding. For now, we dog sit his parents Husky quite often, since they are retired and travel a lot. Her name is Leilani and she is obsessed with me just like I am obsessed with her.
Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies?
No, I am an open book so most of my talents and hobbies are not hidden.

Sports?
My main sport is Tennis, I love going to courts with my Husband on the weekends (and winning). I also coached my youngest sister’s volleyball team for a few years and I have a love/hate relationship with golf. I also enjoy watching college football. Go Ducks!

My sister and I dreamed of owning a bakery together.
What is your claim to fame?
When I was 10, I had the honor of meeting Cher in LA. I was visiting with my family and we ran into her at a restaurant. It was surreal and I still can't believe that was the first celebrity I ever met. I didn't get a picture because we were all too star struck but we did say hello. My Cher impression is top tier by the way!
Do you have any pets?
A sweet and very energetic chocolate lab named Roxy. She’s 5 and a half.
Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies?
I love hosting dinner parties! My dad was a chef and I inherited some of his talent in the kitchen.
