Ana was born on October 5th and gave birth to her daughter on October 15th when she was 15 years old. She describes being a mother at a young age as both a beautiful but difficult experience. One of her happiest memories was throwing her daughter's first birthday party when she turned 5, which her daughter really enjoyed. Soccer has been an important part of Ana's life since age 13 and playing for her home province of Morona Santiago. Going to college at age 18 and getting accepted with good scores was another highlight. Living in Quito to pursue opportunities with a football foundation when she was 18 provided important life lessons despite being difficult being alone there. Seeing her daughter succeed in athletics competitions has brought her great joy.
