Ana joined the YMCA SENC team in 2024 and quickly stepped into her role as a trained DPP Lifestyle Coach. As a bilingual coach, she brings an added layer of connection and accessibility for participants, helping ensure that more individuals feel welcomed and supported on their health journey.
While 2025 presented its share of challenges in launching a cohort, Ana never lost her enthusiasm or commitment. She remained proactive and persistent, personally reaching out to referred participants, following up consistently, and even meeting with individuals one on one to keep them engaged and motivated. Her patience and dedication were instrumental in building the trust and momentum needed to finally launch a cohort in January 2026.
Ana has done an exceptional job connecting with participants, recruiting new members, and fostering strong retention within her group. Her ability to build meaningful relationships and create a supportive environment has made a lasting impact. Ana’s perseverance, passion, and genuine care for the people she serves truly embody the spirit of the DPP, and we are proud to recognize her outstanding efforts.
