Ana says: "I moved to this country in search of a better future. The Journey of adaptation was challenging—adjusting to the climate, economic system, work environment, culture, and language. However, my perseverance, growth mindset, and resilience have brought me to where I am today. Now, I am proud to have a fulfilling career as a teacher, and I am committed to continuing my professional growth. I have been happily married for six years and am blessed with an adorable 8-month-old daughter. In my free time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my family and staying active through regular workouts. Being a teacher and serving in East Pennsboro is my way of giving back to all the wonderful things this country and its people have given me."
