Biography
Born in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain), Anna Jover-Royo began her career as a journalist with Televisió de Catalunya, working as a reporter and videographer. She started by producing and editing segments for a daily children’s news program, later joining the evening newsroom and taking on foreign reporting assignments across Europe and Southeast Asia.
In 2010 she moved to Toronto, where she worked as a freelance photojournalist and reporter for El Correo Canadiense, a translator for the Canadian Opera Company, and Outreach Coordinator for the Common Thread, a social justice chorus.
She spent 15 years with the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) as its first full-time in-house videographer, producing content for political education and organizing campaigns. During that time, she collaborated with former CBC foreign correspondent Bill Gillespie on a documentary examining U.S.-style anti-union legislation (Right To Work) as a growing threat in Ontario, a project recognized by labour leaders for its impact.
She is now based in Alberta, where she works as a Communications Representative with UFCW Local 401. She is also one of the CALM Coordinators.
Workshop Details
Well… That Didn’t Work
Ever hit “post” and immediately regret everything? This workshop is for that moment. We’re collecting the campaigns that didn’t land, the ideas that backfired, and the “how did this happen?” comms stories. Because behind every flop is a lesson worth sharing. No blame, no shame. Just honest, practical takeaways (and probably a few laughs).
