During her time at Baruch, she served as the Secretary of the Baruch Bio-Med Society. Ana originally immigrated to the United States with her mother from Ecuador at the age of 9 years old, without any knowledge of English. Barone quickly overcame challenges, worked hard, and took pride in her acceptance to Baruch College. While obtaining her undergraduate degree, Barone worked full-time in the medical field, and after considering a career in medicine, felt her skills would be most valued teaching New York City’s diverse immigrant families with similar aspirations and work ethic.

    In 2014, Barone was awarded a position as a New York City Teaching Fellow, and an AmeriCorps Teaching Grant. She completed her graduate degree in Science Education from Pace University in June 2016 while working full-time as a 6th and 7th grade Science teacher. Barone later completed her Dual-Language Extension from CUNY Queens College, also funded through the award of an NYCDOE grant. Ana currently serves as a tenured, 6th and 7th grade Science and Dual Language Spanish teacher for M.S. 136, an intermediate school in the immigrant community of Sunset Park, Brooklyn. At M.S. 136, she also serves as a Model Teacher for the Teacher Leadership Team, and on the Anti-Racism Team. She has also led educational, international trips for her students to both Spain and Tanzania, helping to provide eye-opening experiences for traditionally underserved communities. Barone lends her experience as an immigrant to the relationships she fosters with students and families, serving as a leading model of what is possible through hard work and determination. Barone is enthusiastic about sharing this experience, and her passion for social justice issues, with the WSAS, continuing to fulfill Baruch College’s goal of equitable education.
