Ana is a first-year majoring in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology from Northern California. She started dancing when she was 4 years old and has recently returned to ballet after taking a break for a year. Although she has moved around the country throughout her childhood, ballet has always been a constant part of her life. She believes that ballet is a form of art that lets individuals express their creativity with beauty and grace. Ana is excited to share her love of ballet with her fellow students at UCLA. She hopes to foster a supportive environment in the ballet community and encourage new membership from those who want to dance and have not had the opportunity to learn. As Director of Planning, Ana is looking forward to working with company members and maintaining open communication between all stakeholders in the Ballet Company at UCLA.
