I am passionate about problem solving and bringing compassion and empathy into solving those problems.
Me as a human.
Just me, Annie.
I build products in complex spaces where clarity and trust really matter. Most of my work has been in healthcare and enterprise environments, helping teams move through messy systems with less friction.
I’ve led greenfield product work, including a research platform at Mayo Clinic, and helped redesign care delivery tools that reduced administrative burden for providers. I’m most motivated by work that makes people’s day-to-day feel easier and more understandable.
Outside of work, I spend time playing hockey, riding motorcycles, vinyl record collecting, and I run a non-profit hockey organization.
I’m interested in roles where thoughtful technology can genuinely support people.
