As a Co-Founder of The Widow Collaborative, Annie blends her personal journey with her professional role as a Family Services Collaborative Specialist. In this capacity, she brings together leaders from diverse fields dedicated to supporting children and families in the community, aligning perfectly with TWC’s mission of fostering supportive networks. Annie’s commitment to helping others has deep roots, intensified by her husband’s Glioblastoma diagnosis and their shared vision to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Following Marc’s passing, Annie’s vision became clear: to establish a resource for widows akin to the supportive community she and her family leaned on during their journey. Annie’s dream for TWC is unwavering: a sanctuary for every widow, offering a trusted place for them to turn throughout their journey. Beyond TWC, Annie loves seeking adventures with her three daughters, diving into diverse cultures–especially through food, and all-things Wisconsin Badgers.
