During her six year stint, she created some of the most famous SNL characters including middle school music teacher Bobbie Moughan-Culp, NPR radio host Margaret Jo, Lilith Fair poetess Cinder Calhoun, as well as spot-on impressions of Martha Stewart, Celine Dion and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Following her run in Eve Ensler's acclaimed Off-Broadway hit The Vagina Monologues, and her triumphant Broadway debut as Columbia in The Rocky Horror Show, she continued her work on the New York stage starring in Manhattan Theatre Club's hit production of Kimberly Akimbo by celebrated playwright David Lindsay-Abaire. On stage most recently, Ana starred as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl at the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera.

Other theatrical credits include the national tour of The Real Live Brady Bunch, as well as productions of The Odyssey and The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci (both directed by Mary Zimmerman).
