Ana Sabo

Ana is a Croatian native whose journey has taken her not only across cities but across continents. With a background deeply rooted in literary pursuits and a passion for helping others, Ana’s path is one defined by steady progress and meaningful contributions, ranging from literary translations to guiding others on their career journeys.
Currently calling Edmonton home, Ana is furthering her academic journey with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Athabasca University. Her studies delve into the intricate workings of human behavior and motivation, adding another layer to her multifaceted skill set.
Beyond her academic and professional endeavors, Ana is a devoted dog enthusiast with severe separation anxiety when not around her pug (yes, you read that right, and no, it’s not the other way around). She’s a big fan of art – whether it’s visual arts or performing arts, she always has an opinion (for better or for worse). Music has always held a special place in her heart, and she equally enjoys both classical melodies and the energetic beats of genres like metal, punk, and rock.
