Anne has spent her entire career in the museum field, starting as a volunteer with the Provincial Museum of Alberta, moving to intern at the PMA. In 1987 she became the curator of the Edmonton Police Service. After 11 years with the EPS, she relocated to CFB Petawawa as the base museologist for the CFB Petawawa and Airborne Forces Museums.

She was responsible for the redevelopment of the exhibit galleries of the EPS Museum, CFB Petawawa and Airborne Forces Museums, as well as the design and development of a new collection storage facility in Petawawa.

In 2008 she met her future husband WO Ted MacLeod (LdSH (RC) at the OMMC Course in Winnipeg, and in 2010 relocated to Calgary. Between 2010 she volunteered and worked on contract for various small museums in the Calgary area, and in 2013 took the position of executive director of the Hangar Flight Museum. In 2013 she graduated from Leicester University with a master’s degree in museum studies. In 2016 she was elected to the Board of the OMMC and proudly served as president from 2022 to 2025.

She left the Hangar Flight Museum in 2018 and has spent the last 7 years in various contract and volunteer positions in the museum and non-profit world. In 2025 she became the executive director of the OMMC, a role she is proud and honoured to fulfil. She currently lives on the side of a mountain on the shores of Kootenay Lake in British Columbia, where she spends her time chopping firewood, catching skunks and creating art.
