In early 1998, Ana seized an opportunity to visit the U.S. and then decided to stay. Since then, she has spent much of her time regularizing her status (she is now a U.S. citizen), advancing her education (she completed her Master of Music degree at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, writing a thesis on "The Cuban Son"), and working in various jobs (including as a Teaching Assistant at UWM) to support herself. Despite this busy schedule,
she has managed to continue performing (on a free-lance basis at various
venues around southeastern Wisconsin) and teaching flute (privately, including
to adults). She has also honed her skills in MIDI instrumentation and,
using a Korg Triton workstation (see Performing -- Gamaliel reception)
and Sonar (digital audio multitrack) and Finale software, has issued her
first commercial CD, a collection of Cuban traditional
music with her as both performer and orchestrator.
