A cross between Katie Holmes and Selena Gomez, Ana was born in Toronto on January 31st 1996. At the age of 5, Ana started to dance, and her love for performing grew stronger as she grew older. She began acting at the age of 9, and landed her first audition by playing Lucy in "1-800 Missing". From there, Ana went on to play a variety of roles in a number of film and television productions for various networks such as: "Flashpoint" (CBS), "Vacation with Derek" (Family Channel), "Connor Undercover" (Family Channel), "How to be Indie" (YTV), "Life with Boys"(Nickelode- on), "Little Mosque on the Prairie" (CBC), her first lead as "Laney" in "What's Up Warthogs!"

Ana most recently starred in a feature film called "Full Out", an inspirational sports drama, that aired on NBC, Family Channel and is now on Netflix (worldwide). Ana's work in "Full Out" earned her a Canadian Screen Award nomination in 2016. Ana also stars as the fierce and trouble-causing diva, "Zoe Rivas" on the Emmy nominated drama, "Degrassi", airing on MTV Canada and TeenNick. Ana has had the privilege of performing on stage as well as in front of the camera, having worked with Walter Bobbie in "White Christmas" and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber in "The Sound Of Music" (original Mirvish Toronto cast) on some of the most prestigious stages. When Ana is not busy on set or performing on stage, she is working on writing and recording her own music. Even despite her busy schedule, Ana also sets aside time to give back to the community.

She, and the rest of the "Degrassi" cast, travelled to Nicaragua and Ecuador, where they helped build schools and water filtration systems. Show less «
