A graduate of Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School, she works across stage and screen and is recognised as one of Aotearoa’s leading voice-over artists.

Ana is the Producer and Co-founder of UPU Collective, the team behind the award-winning, internationally touring theatre work UPU - a Pacific-led organisation dedicated to expanding opportunities for Moana artists to create and present work that centres storytelling from our Sea of Islands, championing artists to hold full agency at every stage. UPU has toured to major festivals and venues including a sold-out season at the Sydney Opera House, FITU Festival (Mexico), and the CINARS Biennale (Canada), and is now preparing for an extensive four-week multi-city Canadian tour and a national Australian tour in 2026.

Ana is committed to work that reflects, challenges, and uplifts our communities, and to building global pathways for Pacific voices to thrive on their own terms.
