My name is Ana H Valentin. My heart belongs to Caguas, Puerto Rico, meanwhile I reside in Arlington, Virginia.

In 2000, I moved to the District of Columbia Metropolitan Area when I accepted the challenge to serve as a survey statistician in the Federal Government for the United States Census Bureau. Currently, I serve as a survey statistician and Information Technology Program Manager for the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Department of Commerce a position I have held since 2005.

In Puerto Rico, I labored as a research statistician for the Universidad Central del Caribe, School of Medicine where I worked as a research statistician for a clinical research center and as an instructor of the Internal Medicine Department in the Ramon Ruiz Arnau Regional Hospital from 1996 to 1999. In 1999, I worked for three months in the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) Medical School until I accepted the Federal position. Finally, I taught undergraduate statistical courses for the adult education programs in business administration in the UPR Bayamon Campus and Interamerican University in Bayamon Campus from 1996 to 1999.

I am willing to provide my leadership skills for the benefits of UPRAA Members and Friends. I recognize that Thank you!  to my beloved University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras Campus (Jerezana, Go! ), I am succeeding in my professional and academic careers.
