Anne Green has a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications/Elementary Education from the State University of New York at New Paltz, and an Associate’s Degree from the State University of New York at Cobleskill. While attending Cobleskill she served at the Editor in Chief of the school paper. When she moved to Mississauga 12 years ago she had a difficult time locating the services she needed for her family so when the opportunity arose to become involved with printing a kids guide for Mississauga she enthusiastically jumped on board. Since starting the business she has become active on Facebook and twitter and has been called a “walking network.” Her most recent adventure is helping to launch the Mississauga Furniture Bank.

She has over 10 years experience at some of Canada’s leading advertising agencies. Her past client list includes IBM, Cisco, TD Bank and others. She as worked on developing the Genie Award winning “Cisco One Million Acts of Green.” While on maternity leave this life long resident of Mississauga discovered she loved researching fun things to do with her toddler. Naturally she discovered Mississauga Kids and just at the time we were looking to take on some help! Karina is pitching in at Mississauga Kids helping out with sales and the web stuff.
