Before she graduated from high school as English Translator and Interpreter at Mackenzie Institute in Brazil and finished her professional ballet studies Ana discovered her aptitude as a writer, writing poems and short stories, most of them later included in the anthology called MACK. Using also her drawing skills she created her own illustrations in some of her works as she did with the translation of Magia in 1990 (Editora Ondas), her first professional incursion. In 1989 and 90 she worked as the Art Director in a very well known advertisement agency where she soon realized this was not what she wanted for her career.
In the middle of 1990 she graduated from the University of Sao Paulo (FAAP) with a master in Arts. In the same year she moved to England where she studied Holistic Therapies at the Centre of Alternative Medicine in Southampton and to France where she studied French Literature at La Sorbonne University.
In 1995 she went to live in Los Angeles, where she rediscovered her interest for the Dance but from a different perspective, studying Dance from other Cultures (African, Hindu, Indian and other folkloric dances) at the World Arts and Culture. She also attended the course of Transcendental Meditation at the University of California and other similar studies to feed her other line of interest related to inner insights. Ana acquired in the US and Europe all the new knowledge she was looking for in order to start developing her true passion, writing.
She published her first anthology Spiritual Visitations by Zumaya Publications in 1998 when she was still living in California. Her writings can also be found in another anthology "A Thousand Voices" published by Adventure Books of Seattle and on the National Literary Magazine "Mirante" (2006) and on Aphelion (2007). Ana is currently living in Chile, South America from where she promotes her work travelling all over the globe to host and participate on seminars and other events where she is invited.
Ana's writing is considered one of the young values of the Brazilian new cultural wave. Her interest in other cultures and her international background has inspired her to produce very profound writings mixing the value of the world cultures, their similarities and differences, always looking into the intrinsic values and observing the mythology that influence each of them to the current days.
