Ana now serves as communications director and Co-Founder of PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy and is part of the Count the Kicks Influencer Advisory Board, leading outreach to Spanish-speaking communities. She advocates to reduce preventable stillbirth and improve birth outcomes in honor of Owen and all babies gone too soon.
