She grew up in the San Francisco area but wasn’t ready to leave Santa Barbara after graduation. She works as a medical assistant in a pain management clinic and as a field interviewer for the RAND Corporation. In her free time she likes to watch movies, eat cookies and drink wine.

International Chair
Ana

Ana is an Event Marketing Specialist for Citrix Online, a local software company. She’s been living in Santa Barbara for 5 years and loves the relaxing beaches, the beautiful architecture, and the myriad of social activities available to those lucky enough to call Santa Barbara home. One of her favorite hobbies is salsa dancing which she first tried when she was earning her bachelor’s degree in Business Management with a focus in Marketing and a minor in Ethnic Studies at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo.

She has been a member of Rotaract for three years and has enjoyed volunteering for many nonprofit organizations in town. In 2009 she was the co-chair for the Rotaract Relay for Life team helping to raise close to 3k to support the American Cancer Society. Ana is currently the international chair, in this role she is always looking for international service projects that Rotaract members can support and participate in. Please send her your ideas!
