2014 Actuarial Science Outstanding Alumnus: Anne Jackson

Milliman, Inc.

Anne Jackson earned her B.S. in interdisciplinary mathematics and statistics in 1993 (prior to Purdue offering an Actuarial Science degree).  She has been employed by Milliman, Inc. since 1996; when she joined the Indianapolis health practice as an Actuary.  Ms Jackson is currently a Principal and Consulting Actuary. 

Throughout Anne's career, she has worked on a wide range of interesting projects, including health plan pricing work, support for Medicaid state agencies, and predictive analytics.  The wide range of work and projects have been one of the most rewarding aspects of Ms. Jackson's career.

Upon arriving to Purdue University as a freshman, Anne enrolled in engineering.  After two years of study she changed to Actuarial Sciences because she enjoyed the mix of math, economics, and business.  Anne recalled that Purdue creates a lot of opportunity for students to explore courses of study and to find the best fit for their interests. 

The Indianapolis health practice – and other Milliman offices – regularly recruit students from Purdue because of  the strength of its program and its reputation.  In fact, Milliman happily provides an Actuarial Science scholarship for undergraduates. Milliman’s proximity to West Lafayette allows many opportunities for interaction with the leadership of the Actuarial Science Program, as well as with the students throughout the year.
