Brenda Gammon
During the years that I have worked with Ana, I have had the opportunity to observe her interpersonal style. She is a pleasant individual who believes in positive motivation. Ana is a very quick study, ambitious leader and a terrific team player. I believe these skills will allow her to succeed in her chosen field.

I've had the pleasure of working with Ana in varying capacities over the past fifteen years. It's truly been a delight to see her career expand and grow. Ana has always been a talented communicator, which serves her well in her area of expertise which is brand marketing. Having moved on to another company, I reached out to Road America when I saw their new marketing campaigns, branding initiatives and social media presence. I was impressed to hear that it was all under Ana's design as she was given lead to make a difference. The result of Ana's campaign were immediate, quantifiable and impactful. Super proud of the strong professional she is in her chosen field of expertise. Would love the opportunity to work with Ana again in the future. If you have the opportunity to do so, take it. She's a meaningful contributor on any team.
