(she/her)(ella)

Introduction 

Ana Karen (yes, she prefers both names) is a bicoastal Stage Manager from Mexico/California. During her last year at Purchase, she was lucky enough to be the Production Stage Manager for 3 different plays, as well as the opportunity to work in Television and Events! 

After her time at Purchase ends, she wants to do a little bit of everything. Her only hope is to work on interesting projects with people who deeply care about them, and see where that leads her.
