(BOSTON—7/18/2025) Senate Assistant Majority Leader Joan B. Lovely (D-Salem) is pleased to announce her nomination of Salem’s Ana Nuncio to be honored as a 2025 Commonwealth Heroine by the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women.

“I was proud to nominate Ana Nuncio for this distinguished honor from the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women,” said Senator Lovely.“Ana’s work to bridge cultures, giving a voice to underserved communities, and providing resources and opportunities for our youth, is an inspiration to us all. She is a true advocate for cultural understanding and community development, and a true Commonwealth Heroine.”

Nuncio has done impactful work at The House of the Seven Gables, where she developed The Caribbean Project to help students deepen their understanding of Caribbean history while strengthening their English language and literacy skills. Nuncio also spearheaded the Community Conversations at the Gables, providing important interactive workshops about immigration past and present. In addition, Nuncio has also taught adult English literacy and citizenship classes.

Nuncio’s leadership on the Latino Leadership Coalition, her service on the Salem School Committee from 2020 to 2023, and her ongoing involvement with St. Peter’s Church’s vibrant Latino community are also all testaments to her commitment to supporting and uplifting others.
