About

Ana is a clinical and integrative psychologist with over 13 years of experience across hospital, public health, and organizational settings. As a Health & Wellness Advisor and Workshop Facilitator, she designs and implements training strategies and develops wellness models with a preventive approach, drawing on her background in health and telemedicine, as well as online education. Her work integrates crisis intervention with health promotion, focusing on mental health as a trainable capacity for individuals and communities. Prior to her independent consulting, Ana served as Patient Group Coordinator at Roche Ecuador from 2018 to 2021. In this role, she led inter-institutional processes and strategic engagement with key stakeholders, providing crisis management and support in sensitive contexts. This sustained work contributed to Roche ranking first in the 2019-2020 Annual Patient Group Perception Survey. Ana holds a Diploma in Pediatric Psycho-Oncology from ISalud Foundation University, Argentina, and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University of Belgrano, Argentina. Having grown up in various Latin American countries, she brings a multicultural perspective to her work, valuing diversity in people's experiences. She is eager to contribute her expertise to a team, supporting shared goals and the well-being of her colleagues, particularly in areas like patient advocacy and early childhood development.
