👋 I’m Annie, your Burnout BFF
I’m a founder, marketer, writer, and artist. I spent a decade in tech before burnout forced me to rethink everything. I’ve since pivoted from corporate to pursue my creative passions, advocating for burnout recovery and more sustainable ways to live and work.
On LinkedIn, you’ll see the credentials:
10+ years of sales and marketing leadership in tech
Co-founder of a startup that raised $1M
MBA from UCLA Anderson
But here, you’ll get the human behind the stats:
🇹🇼 Taiwanese American | ♍ Virgo Sun, Libra Rising | 🧠 INTP
❤️🔥 What is Burnout BFF?
This is a community for recovering corporates and high achievers who are ready to heal, reconnect with their creativity, and rebuild careers that actually align with their true selves.
My mission is to strip away the shame associated with burnout and bring honest awareness to the stigmatized struggles of the modern professional.
