The Sonoma Ranch magazine and Facebook
What is/was your career?
I got my BA in Finance and later an MBA. I worked for a cement company in México and the U.S. for 15 years at various positions in Corporate Treasury, Budgeting and Planning. I quit last May to stay at home with Victoria.
How long have you been a member of FIT4MOM Las Cruces, and what has it done for you?
I started FIT4MOM a week after I left my job back in June of last year. It helped me so much with my transition from hectic zoom meetings and due dates, to scheduling time for myself and learning about this new stage of my life, meeting so many amazing moms and babies along the way!
What is your favorite class exercise?
I love the free runs!! I feel like a kid racing other kids at the playground for some reason 😂
What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?
I am surprised of how much you can learn and keep on learning, and how your confidence grows (and sometimes you just forget and start all over)
What are three of your favorite things?
Spending time with my family and friends, baking and reading
What is your proudest mommy moment so far?
Speaking Spanish to her so she can communicate with her family back in México!
What advice would you give to a new mother?
You are the best mom and you know your baby the best; everyone has their own pace and it is okay.
Anything else you'd like to add?
I love going to class! Getting my workout and spending time with the other moms and babies is lovely. Thank you FIT4MOM for creating this great experience for us!
We are so lucky to have Ana in our village. It wouldn't be the same without her and Victoria!
