Anastasia (Ana) Martinez
DIRECTOR OF CAMPAIGNS & POLICY (SHE/HER)
Anastasia (Ana) Martinez (she/her) is Ohio Women’s Alliance’'s senior campaign manager! Growing up on the east side of Toledo, Ohio, the inequities she saw in her city led her to pursue a career in public service. Directly out of undergrad, Ana moved to Massachusetts to become a founding social studies teacher at a public community school. After seeing many of the issues her students and their families were facing could not be solved in the classroom, her passion for policy was reignited. She then became a policy fellow at a think tank in Boston where she worked with organizers, grassroots groups, unions, and students to create community-focused policy solutions. Ana is motivated to use her background and skills to assist folx in finding their space in advocacy and civic engagement.
Ana holds a B.A. in Public Policy from The Ohio State University and a Masters of Curriculum and Instruction from Boston University and loves reading, yoga, and her cat Wally.
