Born and raised in Venezuela with Portuguese parents, Ana Karina Da Silva, an award-winning advertising creative, author, workshop facilitator, comedian, and speaker, has earned over 30 accolades for her innovative ideas promoting Fortune 500 clients.

After achieving her big dream of winning a Cannes award and hitting a wall about what came next, Ana realized that all the answers lay within our inner child.

Drawing from her experiences in mindfulness, stand-up comedy, and storytelling, she assists her audience in reconnecting with their innate creativity and playfulness.

Currently, she is enrolled in Second City’s Stand up class and finished a HarvardX’s Early Childhood Development: Global Strategies for Implementation certificate program to further her understanding of children’s developmental needs, integrating this knowledge into her storytelling.
