Anna Magner
Anna graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor’s degree in Speech Pathology and went on to study linguistics, traveling to the Andes of Peru with her husband. There they focused on the Quechua language of the descendants of the Incas.
Returning to the States a few years later, she chose to homeschool their two children and volunteer with community nonprofits.
After the kids left the nest, Anna returned to college to polish up her computer skills and office skills. For the last ten years, Anna has worked as office manager for several businesses and currently divides her time between managing the front office at a local church and assisting Jim and Jason at Hallett Advisors.
