Ana holds a MSc from the University of Toronto and is currently pursuing her MBA at the DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University.

Having grown her career at SickKids—from research assistant to study coordinator, project manager, and now program manager—Ana has developed deep expertise in navigating the operational and regulatory complexities of gene therapy research. What truly motivates her is working alongside families, especially children. She finds great fulfillment in collaborating with a dedicated team of healthcare professionals and leaders to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their caregivers.

Outside of work, Ana remains engaged in the neuromuscular community, appreciating the opportunity to contribute to events and initiatives that support neurological health and research.
