Ann has been a scleroderma warrior for over 20 years. She was diagnosed with Limited Scleroderma in 1999.

Ann started a podcast in 2021 after retiring from 39 years of teaching. The podcast is called Mogil’s Mobcast-A Scleroderma Chat. The podcast is dedicated to those living with scleroderma, friends and family. She recently released her 81st podcast. Guests are from all over the world and with different disciplines. The podcast has had almost 27,000 downloads. Ann recently was selected as the 2024 recipient of the National Scleroderma Foundation’s Outstanding Patient Support Award for the podcast.

The goal of my podcast is to have a central place for people afflicted with Scleroderma and a place for their families and friends to be informed by specialists in either Scleroderma or autoimmune topics. I will cover a wide range of topics like nutrition, medications, vitamins, and lifestyles. I will also showcase stories from others affected by Scleroderma and how they have dealt with the disease. 

Ann’s son Joshua, who does her editing, and finance lives in St. Louis, while her daughter Jenna, who does her social media, lives in New York.

Ann is Minnesota's state lead for the Upper Great Lakes of the National Scleroderma Foundation. She is on the patient advisory board of the National Scleroderma Foundation and on the education development committee for the Steffens Scleroderma Foundation.
