Ana began
skate school lessons with her younger
sister Daria at the age of seven. Almost six months later she
attended her first "Grassroots to Champions" seminar, and has been an
active G2C student even since. Her coaches are Audrey
Weisiger,
Nick Perna and Dana Martin. Currently, she is a Novice level
skater at the National Level. In 2008 and 2009 Ana competed
at
the US Figure Skating Junior National Championships, at the Juvenile
and Intermediate levels. She won the 2011 Novice Ladies Eastern Sectionals
Championships and finished in eighth place at the 2011 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
If you were to ask people who know Ana to
describe her you would probably hear something about her ambassadorship
of figure skating, her work ethic, discipline, determination and the
fact that Ana knows no stranger. Figure skating has required
Ana
to make many sacrifices, living away from her parents and her siblings,
spending long hours in the car either commuting to the rink or making a
trip to North Carolina to spend time celebrating her siblings successes
and just being able to be a family. Although being on the ice
is
where Ana feels most at home; outside the rink Ana enjoys being with
friends, dancing, drawing, reading, swimming and almost any other
outdoor activity. |
