A Chat With January’s Profile, Ann Killeen, General Manager of Montessori Services

CS: What are your hobbies?
AK: I like to spend time with my family, but I’ve also trained in martial arts for 30 years. I have three black belts and I still teach arnis, which is a kind of Filipino stick-fighting.

CS: What would you have done as a career if you hadn’t become involved in the catalog industry?
AK: Well, I was a junior high school teacher when I started in catalog. I was teaching middle school science and basically I said to Jerry, who started Storybook Heirlooms, ‘I like computers.’ And he said, ‘OK, you’ll be the director of IT.’
