Annie is a Minneapolis-based brand and communications leader, writer, and storyteller.
Professionally, she has spent more than two decades helping mission-driven organizations and
start-ups bring bold ideas to life—translating complex innovations in sustainability, science, and
social impact into language that moves people. Her career has taken her from Fortune 50
boardrooms to creative studios, where she’s built strategies, campaigns, and partnerships that
connect brand to meaning.
Personally, Annie’s creative practice has become a parallel path of discovery. A survivor of
ovarian cancer, she writes and performs stories that blend humor and honesty to illuminate what
it means to live fully after life-altering experiences. Her current one-woman show (a work in
progress) and related essays draw on themes of recovery, identity, and the search for joy in
ordinary moments.
Annie’s work—whether on stage, on the page, or in the boardroom—is driven by the same
impulse: to help people see possibility, even in the messiest parts of being human. When she
isn’t writing or working with clients, she’s walking her beloved rescue dog, Jamie, or planning
her next bucket-list adventure.
