I am passionate about problem solving and bringing compassion and empathy into solving those problems.
Me as a human.
Just me, Annie.
By day I am a Product Manager. After work I’m always diving into something fun or something that piques my interest or curious mind. I approach the world with a lens of curiosity and empathy.
I’m into photography, art & design, vinyl record collecting, ice hockey (year round), motorcycling, space & astronomy, I’m on the board of directors for an ice hockey organization, I sometimes record and make music.
