She is most well-known for her work leading John Fetterman’s digital strategy during his campaign for Senate and has been referred to as his Tik-Tok Whisperer. She has also worked with Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, the Working Families Party, and others.
As a strategist, creator, and political operative, Annie has contributed to some of the largest online advocacy platforms like @feminist, @impact, @shityoushouldcareabout, @intersectionalenvironmentalist, @so.informed, @genzforchange and has had a myriad of content go viral, being shared by the likes of Rachel Cargle, Viola Davis, Kerry Washington, Ariana Grande, Yara Shahidi, the Kardashians, Olivia Rodrigo, and others.
