Hello.
I am Annie.

I turn unclear problems into products that work.

How I think

01
Start with the Problem

I focus on figuring out what actually needs to be solved before jumping into solutions. In complex systems, it is easy to build quickly but miss the real problem.

02
Define what actually matters

I start by understanding where things break down for users, the business, or across systems, and defining the problem in a way that makes it clear what actually matters.

03
Think in hypotheses

From there, I think in terms of hypotheses. What do we believe will improve this, and why? That keeps the focus on outcomes instead of just output.

04
Use data and real context

I use both data and real-world context to guide decisions. Especially in healthcare, you have to understand behavior and workflows, not just metrics.

05
Own outcomes end-to-end

I take ownership end-to-end, from defining the problem to driving decisions and making sure what gets built actually works in practice.

Selected Product

Experience

I’m a Product Manager focused on problem definition, product strategy, and end-to-end ownership in complex systems.

I work across complex, real world systems, turning unclear problems into products that deliver real outcomes.

Mayo Clinic

Building a Scalable Research Platform

Research teams lacked a consistent way to collect and access patient data, leading to duplicated work and slow onboarding.

I defined the problem as a lack of reusable infrastructure and led the development of a mobile and web platform that enabled patients to submit wearable and voice data. I drove this by defining product requirements, aligning research and engineering teams, and leading delivery across iOS, Android, and backend systems.

Impact:

  • Onboarding reduced to 24 hours
  • Adopted by 8 cardiovascular research teams
  • Delivered in 4 months

Virtuwell

Reducing Clinical Workload and Redesigning Preventive Care Delivery

Clinicians were spending significant time reviewing patient cases during visits, limiting time for meaningful conversations with patients.

I reframed the problem as both reducing cognitive and operational load and enabling a more effective care model. I drove the development of a hybrid preventive care approach that shifted routine assessment work outside of the visit, allowing clinicians to focus on patient outcomes and conversations during in-person care.

I partnered with clinical and engineering teams to define decision pathways and build assessment workflows aligned with clinical guidelines.

Impact:

  • 90% reduction in administrative work
  • Review time reduced from ~30 minutes to 1–2 minutes
  • Created a more meaningful clinician patient experience during visits with coaching insights and reviewing their labs and screenings
