October 2025 Employee of the Month - Annie Westover
Santaquin City is proud to recognize Annie Westover as our October 2025 Employee of the Month. Annie serves as an Advanced EMT, working part-time for the city, and has been with Santaquin for nearly a year. In that time, she has proven herself to be an invaluable member of our team.
Chief Ryan Lind shared, “Annie is an amazing and outgoing person. She has been willing to learn and take on additional responsibilities. I appreciate her immensely and feel that she deserves this recognition.”
Annie’s path to becoming an EMT is both inspiring and deeply meaningful. After earning her degree in history education, she taught for a few years before starting her family. Married to her husband Ryan for 14 years, Annie is the proud mom of six children—four girls and two boys, ranging in age from 12 to 3. For years she dedicated herself to raising her family as a stay-at-home mom. But following the tragic passing of Sergeant Bill Hooser, Annie felt a strong desire to serve her community in a new way. She began with ride-alongs to see if EMT work was right for her, then went on to earn her EMT certification, and ultimately advanced to the level of Advanced EMT.
Annie, who is originally from Orem, and Ryan, a Santaquin native, have lived in several states before returning to Utah and settling in Santaquin five years ago—a community they have grown to love and call home. Annie treasures the opportunities to raise her children in such a family-centered city.
Outside of work, Annie enjoys spending time outdoors camping, hiking, backpacking, and gardening, as well as cheering on her children in their various sports. She also greatly values the friendships and camaraderie she has found within Santaquin’s EMT team. “I love the people I work with,” Annie says. “They have hearts of gold and are always willing to teach. I am grateful for the chance to learn from them and to be part of such a kind and service-minded team.”
Santaquin City is honored to celebrate Annie’s dedication, compassion, and service to our community. Congratulations, Annie, on being named October 2025 Employee of the Month!
