Anne O'Connor

Hometown: St. Paul, Minnesota
Undergrad alma mater: University of South Dakota
Bachelor's degree: Health Administration

O’Connor is married, has two amazing boys, loves to run, camp, canoe and hike. One time while on a trip to Spain, she ran from a bull. 

She fell in love with direct care while studying health administration at the University of South Dakota. After working in health care administration for years, she realized she was pushing her true passion of direct care aside and applied to the MN program. 

While in the program, O’Connor is most excited to meet other students and learn from their experiences. In five years, she sees herself working in nursing leadership and making an impact on policies and systems that are not currently working as well as they could for vulnerable patients.
