With over 20 years in the field, Ana bridges gaps between creative and development teams, business users, and C-level executives to provide effective, customer-centric solutions. Her experience includes directing the functions and programs related to the County's information channels (miamidade.gov, 311 Answer Center, and Miami-Dade Television) as well as the development of civic engagement and customer service strategy.

As the Director of Innovation in the County, Ana is working to create intersections across verticals in the industry partnering with academic institutions to build the foundational learning and experiential opportunities to expand our local talent pipelines.
