Before joining Humber, the scope of my industry experience included retail operations, marketing, fashion and cosmetics. I have worked with many of Canada’s leading brands and specialized in marketing, product development, and new product launches. As an Account Executive, I oversaw sales forecasting, inventory control, analysis and distribution for my customers and managed multiple projects across Sourcing, Purchasing, Quality Control, Creative, Operations, and Accounting departments. Some highlights of my experience include attending the Cosmoprof Tradeshow in Italy to review new worldwide industry trends, assisting with PR activities during Toronto Fashion Week and Toronto International Film Festival, and attending local events such as Fashion Group International’s trend presentations. I also contributed to a leading fashion brand’s expansion into the US market. During the lead up, our team secured sample placement in New York Fashion Week in the Theory and Doo Ri runway shows which gained international recognition in Style.com and WWD.
Additional work experience includes freelance projects in Creative, Art, Photography, Interior and Graphic Design. I have launched my own brand ANNE in FASHION which includes a website www.anneinfashion.com along with supporting social media feeds under the handle @anneinfashion.

My Masters of Business Administration (MBA), Marketing Concentration is from the University of Tampa. In my MBA program, I specialized in Branding, Forecasting, Integrated Marketing Communications, E-Marketing, and International Marketing.
