Ann Tucker

I have a job that I love, and am truly blessed to work with some wonderful people here in Knox County, Illinois. Every day I come to work I am reminded that there is someone, somewhere that is worse off than I am, and my job is to try and make sure there are resources available to them in their time of need. I also try to give back as much as I can because at any moment I could be the person in need of help. I want to be a good role model for my children and encourage them to give back to their community. My favorite quote is by Booker T. Washington – “If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.”
