I am passionate about problem solving and bringing compassion and empathy into solving those problems.
Me as a human.
Just me, Annie.
I’m a product manager who turns complex problems into elegant solutions. I started as an entrepreneur, then moved into healthcare technology where I build products that improve lives. At Mayo Clinic, I built a data collection platform for AI/ML research. At Virtuwell, I redesigned care delivery models that gave providers 90% of their time back. Currently exploring AI applications in healthcare and how we can make clinical work more efficient.
When not working, you’ll find me playing hockey, riding motorcycles, with my pets, or tinkering with tech.
Looking for my next opportunity in frontier AI or healthcare innovation.
