She serves on the Board of the National Magazine Foundation of Canada, where she helps shape strategies and policies that influence the present and future of the Canadian editorial landscape. Her commitment to the industry is further demonstrated by her role on the National Magazine Awards (NMAs) judging panel. Despite her early advocacy for hand-drawn sketching, Anna is a firm believer in the power of AI as a tool for the future. She frequently uses it for photo editing and to explore innovative techniques that can boost creativity and streamline processes. Notably, she was the creative force behind Canada’s first AI-generated cover for Maclean’s magazine, part of the editorial package titled “AI: The Future is Now.” **Fun Facts:** I love ice fishing and enjoy bubble tea, especially a flavor called \"Panda,\" during the summer. I am a cat enthusiast and spend my free time playing badminton, practicing yoga, and swimming in the pool. I have a curious mind and am interested in a wide range of topics, from manga art to the stock exchange and new technologies. I am a quick learner who enjoys innovation.
