Ana is an Associate Professor in the Environmental Policy and Sustainability Management graduate program and also serves as the Director of the Tishman Environment & Design Center  (TEDC) at The New School.

Ana's research and professional practice focuses on environmental justice (EJ) and climate justice. She works collaboratively with movement organizations to support the advancement of environmental justice. Ana works on a range of related issues including environmental justice and cumulative impacts policies, climate justice and renewable energy, land use and zoning tools for environmental justice, zero waste systems, and critical approaches to carbon management and climate mitigation strategies. Ana's professional practice is based primarily in community engaged scholarship and critical participatory action research.

Ana’s current research and practice focuses on innovations happening on state-level cumulative impacts policies. She helped to pass a landmark EJ and cumulative impacts law in New Jersey, with EJ leaders in the state and recently co-authored papers on these efforts in the EJ Journal's Special Issue on Cumulative Impacts (2025). Ana also served as a co-editor on a special issue of the Journal of Climate Resilience and Climate Justice (CRCJ) focused on critical perspectives and environmental justice implications of industrial carbon management approaches. She co-authored a paper for this issue highlighting the environmental justice implications of federal investments in industrial carbon management projects.

Ana is currently leading the Centering Justice initiative at the Tishman Center which seeks to align the work of academic centers committed to environmental and climate justice, philanthropy, and movement partners to advance environmental justice goals. This initiative includes hosting an annual Centering Justice Symposium and a Community of Practice across Higher Education to advance environmental and climate justice.
