Nurturing Down To The Core

From the center of Minneapolis, Ana was born and raised amongst her three older sisters and one younger brother. She got her feet wet in the ad business unexpectedly when she realized she was babysitting for the creator of the company called Musicmatters. She quickly became involved with the company’s effort to raise awareness of Global Warming. There, Ana designed events to promote the “Global Lick Warming” campaign, working with Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream products, as well as musical big shots such as Dave Matthews Band.

To The Nth Degree

Run, Ana, run. Her powerful energy is apparent. Ana has ran three marathons, (two Grandmas Marathons in Duluth, plus another in Chicago), running heel-to-heel with thousands of other extremists. Ana is currently in training for her 4th marathon, right here in the Twin Cities. When she’s not treading concrete, she enjoys cross-country skiing, painting, and devoting time to her three long-haired Chihuahuas: Josephine, Napoleon, and Palton. “They don’t look like skinny rats. However, I can’t take them to the dog park because they are often mistaken as rodents.”
