Ana Acosta joined the Blue Zones Project® as an intern in June 2021, and officially joined the team in December 2021 as the Food Environment Lead for the Peninsula Cities. This role involves working with restaurants and grocery stores, and on food policy. Ana is looking forward to collaborating with these different sectors and working together to make environmental changes that make the healthy choice the easy choice for the community.
Before working with the Blue Zones Project, Ana worked at the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP) and played many roles for the Department of Nutrition Services. However, she was inspired to continue working with the community after working as an instructor for CHOMP’s Kids Eat Right Program (KER).
My Power 9
My favorite Power 9® is “Move Naturally.” Monterey County is a beautiful area to live in and has many options for people to spend time outdoors. You can relax at the beach or hit the trails and go on a hike. In my free time you can find me running on the trails or along the Monterey Bay Coastal Trail.
