    Ana María Ramos is the Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Trainer at the Children’s Trust of Massachusetts, where she leads statewide trainings to strengthen how organizations, educators, and families prevent, recognize, and respond to child sexual abuse. In her role, she provides training and community engagement to help create safer environments where children can thrive.

    Before joining the Children’s Trust, Ana María worked with the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, where she facilitated comprehensive sexuality education programs for youth and families across the state. Her experience there deepened her commitment to making sexual health education accessible, culturally responsive, and empowering for all communities.

    After earning a degree in Hospitality Management and working in that field for more than a decade, Ana María took a career break to focus on parenting. During the pandemic, she decided to use her skills in connecting with people and building relationships for a more meaningful cause. She became a certified Sexual Health Educator, finding joy and purpose in helping families navigate conversations about bodies, consent, and healthy relationships.

    A proud Puerto Rican mother and bilingual educator, Ana María brings both professional expertise and personal insight to her work. She believes that prevention begins with connection — and that when adults have the knowledge, tools, and language to talk openly with children, entire communities become safer and stronger.
