About Ana

I grew up in the Southern California border, both in Mexico and the U.S., graduated Saint Mary's in 2015 with a Bachelor's degree in Global Studies and Italian, and thereafter moved to Florence to pursue my Master's degree in Italian language. Coming back from Italy I knew I wanted to continue working in higher education which is why I'm thrilled to be back at Saint Mary's. It gives me no greater joy to work at the place where I discovered my passion, voice and place in the world.

The campus, that will always lead me home.
