Ana is a journalist from San Jose, California. She attended San Jose State University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Communication Studies. Her passion for sports, food, and travel shows in some of her journalistic work, as she's quite passionate about helping the public learn more about those topics, just to name a few.

Ana has been covering professional and college sports as an accomplished journalist since 2016. Her journalism work experience includes college sports, food and drink, travel, lifestyle, and entertainment. Her work has been published in multiple outlets, such as USA TODAY, FanSided, SB Nation, SFBay, and Valnet, Inc. Her journalist work samples range from extensive articles to clear-cut podcasts. Her samples showcase her versatile talents, as she can work in writing, editing, broadcasting, and podcasting.

Ana's writing for the English edition of Meer resembles her current and former work in the journalism industry. As a detail-oriented writer and reporter, Ana can conduct in-depth research while writing or reporting in detail but in an easy-to-understand way for the public to grasp the topic as soon as possible. The public has the right to high-quality content for free from qualified journalists like herself.

Ana's versatility makes her a solid journalist who can cover virtually any topic when needed. She can write articles, including but not limited to columns, features, profiles, and recaps. She is a reliable, solid, and hard-hitting journalist who can ask the tough questions when the need arises. She got her start in journalism as a San Jose Sharks beat writer who covered the 2016 Stanley Cup Final for Inside Hockey. Her Sharks coverage earned her consistent praise from her editor, co-workers, and followers, both in real life and on social media.

Ana has worked in the marketing industry. Her writing skills were a great fit for Emphatic, with whom she worked as a social media marketer for three years. She wrote plenty of copy for various clients, ranging from aspiring politicians to small business owners in the United States and beyond. Her copy was short and sweet but understandable for the average customer or potential customer who comes across an individual's or a business' Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn.

Ana's editing skills were helpful to several of her previous employers, such as the local radio network, Sports Radio Service, in San Francisco, California, and the Austin Film Festival held annually in Austin, Texas. Her eye for detail makes her a great editor who can ensure clear and correct copy, whether for sports recaps and features or music news and notes. Her ability to see how the various parts of a written piece contribute to a piece's quality as a whole is a plus.

Ana's storytelling is clear and comprehensive while being down-to-earth to most, if not all, of her followers. Her stories, which range from short stories to opinion editorials, showcase her attention to detail, her analytical mind, and her curiosity, to say the least. Her stories also showcase her courage, empathy, and creativity, all of which are positive qualities about her. In addition, some of her stories have been picked up by quite a few news aggregators, such as Yardbarker, NewsBreak, and Chat Spots.

Ana's journalism career not only serves herself but also her followers on social media from X, formerly Twitter, to Instagram. Her followers know her for her journalistic talent, along with her love for food, beverages (especially coffee), and travel. Her love for travel, including aviation, helps her stand out from other journalists, as her previous airport customer service experience shaped her existing work ethic while preparing her for future jobs in airports in a post-pandemic world.
