Today, Anaya has undergraduate degrees in Library Science, Dramatic Arts, System Analysis, and International Relations. She has a masters degree from the University of Rio de Janeiro, a doctorate degree from Loughborough University of Technology in England, and a post doctorate degree in Information Systems from Syracuse University in the United States. During her undergraduate studies, Anaya sang and played the guitar on the radio and on TV, as well as at the Teatro da Paz in Belm, Par. Anaya has traveled the world with her guitar, performing not only in the universities where she studied, but also at nightclubs and international hotels.
