I’m Ana and I'm a bilingual writer with a master's in English from George Washington University. I publish articles in print and digital media, and run the page The Screen Bliss on Instagram, where I analyze cinema and interview film scholars. It currently has over 80,000 followers. I also teach writing and literature in English and Spanish to students aged 9 to 21. I’ve led teams as editor-in-chief at Voz Actual where I was also a writer in the humanities section, taught Middle School at Horizons Greater Washington, and wrote freelance articles with Static Media for a year. I was admitted to the 2025 MFA Creative Writing program at American University with a $30,000 scholarship (I declined the offer; I can provide proof). I’ve completed multiple creative writing and literature workshops and remain devoted to cross-cultural storytelling through film festivals and education.
