A life in the entertainment business is never boring. Werby is currently the publicist for Family Channel and Disney Junior, which are both part of the Astral Television Network. She promotes TV series by engaging journalists across Canada and generates publicity for original Canadian series. Werby’s work in entertainment is a direct result of her time at Humber and her four month internship with Much Music/MTV Canada. She gained valuable experience as the communications intern working on the Much Music Video Awards and the launching of MTV2. That experience got her hired at CTV’s conventional network where she stayed until moving to Astral. She credits Humber’s faculty for her success. “All the professors have relevant industry experience, either they’ve done something or they know someone who’s done it and they’re very willing to connect you to that person.” She adds, “The projects and events that we worked on in the program really helped develop your practical skills that you’re going to need once you enter the workplace, so Humber really sets you up for success.”
