Anke Foller-Carroll
Professor, Educator, Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning

I was born, raised and educated in Germany and showed up in Toronto with two suitcases in hand, thinking it would just be for a year. 30 years later ... I have been in the industry for over two decades with in-depth experience in retail, wholesale, destination management and MICE, and now teach in the tourism diploma and degree programs at Humber College, Toronto. My focal points are Sustainable Tourism and Marketing/Social Media Marketing/Ethical Marketing.
