About Us
Ana migrated to New Zealand with her family in the early 1990s, and like many migrant families, the journey was challenging. Seeing her parents navigate the immigration system and experience uncertainty and hardship shaped her understanding of how deeply immigration decisions affect families and communities.
This experience motivated Ana to pursue studies in high school and university which focused on society and people, which eventually led to a career working within immigration itself. Drawing on both her lived experience and professional background, Ana now supports families through the immigration process with care and integrity.
Having experienced the immigration system personally, worked within it, and now supporting others through it, Ana brings a well rounded and practical understanding to her work. She is committed to ensuring migrants receive clear, honest guidance and are treated fairly throughout the immigration process, particularly those who may be vulnerable or at risk of being taken advantage of.
Ana is focused on providing honest and practical advice so families can move forward with confidence and clarity.
