Bryant Rupe, BSN, RN
Outpatient Clinic Manager - Mark Lindsay Dialysis Center
Dialysis - Utah

Rupe started out as an EMT in Davis County with long and crazy hours, but it was a job that he loved. Eventually, he wanted to progress his knowledge in the medical field which led him down the nursing path. This was his calling in life where he could help those in need with long but predictable hours. The feeling that is associated with helping those in need is incredible, and there is nothing else that he would rather do.

Anne Vinsel
Senior Technical Writer
Epidemiology - SLC

Anne Vinsel is originally from all over the Midwest. Her father opened up new nuclear power plants, so they moved a lot but luckily missed out on Three Mile Island. Her mother was an opera singer and an embalmer, which made for confusion in kindergarten when the kids were asked to draw what their mommies did. 

She worked at Graduate Medical Education from 2001 through 2017, leaving to do medical writing for a medical device company and also freelance medical writing. This combination of experiences resulted in her taking her present job helping authors and PIs with articles, grant proposals and reports, conducting literature reviews and do other things that will help researchers in the VINCI group. 

She can teach any dog to use a treadmill, and has found that skill set very useful in working with researchers.
