Her Story
About Annouchka
I'm a pharmacist with almost 20 years experience. I'm a breast cancer survivor for 14 years. While doing treatment I started researching vitamins and began selling them, which led me to open my business in 2021. I have a health and wellness center called Naturally in Gabon and businesses in Central and West Africa. I founded Farmer Eli in 2023 to use AI for drug safety and medication safety in Africa. I work part-time at Veterans Affairs to keep my clinical experience and I am building an AI platform for pharmacovigilance.
