Ana Kolomeka grew up in up in an Oakland ghetto where ignorance and its effects were rampant. She was blessed to attend Golden Gate Academy, a Christian school where she met a facts-of-life teacher who gave her the tools (knowledge) to escape. After obtaining a liberal arts degree from the California State University system, she worked as a substitute teacher, caregiver, and various jobs in the Computer Science field. Working with teens is her passion. She currently resides on the Big Island of Hawaii.
