Meredith Placko (a.k.a. Ana Aethestic)

Meredith Placko (aka "Ana Aethestic") was picked up by Concept Galaxy after she blew convention attendees away with her performance for Stephanie Chateau's "Time Warped Wonderland" production. Although it is what is jettisoning Merideth into more guest appearances at conventions, remarkably, acting for stage and film is something Meredith had never thought to try until recently.

Before she was discovered on stage Meredith started out using her strong voice talent in various forms of Broadcasting after she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Broadcast Communications. Back in early 2000 Meredith began gaining noteriety as a host of one of the most ground breaking syndicated pioneer sub-culture radio stations on the scene, "Radio Sci-Fi". After 4 years of paying her dues she moved on to book various gigs doing voice over work for commercial radio and television as well. She's also known for her time working as a co-host for geek culture pod cast "Just Push Play".

Meredith is also a proud cosplay and comic book geek, known amongst the cosplay community as "Ana Aethestic". She has an associates degree in Fashion, Design, and Marketing and has been booked for numerous modeling gigs, but decided she much preferred creating her costumes and modeling them as a hobbey. This motivated "Ana" to try her hand at making various super hero costumes so she could assist as a character in the "Heroe's Alliance", a cosplay organization with a goal to bring help and hope to sick and disabled children. After only 2 months of working with the organization, Ana was elected as Vice President, and now helps run many of the fund raisers and events for charity.
