Ana Dumett, Hispanic Programs Coordinator II, Catholic Charities/ Lake Co.
Ana is originally from Peru, where she studied arts, dance, jewelry design, and business administration.
Ana came to the United States with her two-year-old son Alejandro (Ale) in 1993. The search for classes and programs that would help them with the new language, education and recreation was not successful. The goals of learning about her new community, while maintaining her cultural roots and the Spanish language, seemed unattainable.
Within a few years, Ana had the opportunity to establish a traditional Hispanic dance company for adults, and soon another company for children. The emphasis was on sharing the culture and dances as a bridge of understanding between the different cultures.
At the same time, Ana has been working with programs and services for the Hispanic community in agencies; and for the Hispanic Program at Catholic Charities since 2004, which is her passion, and considers it an honor.
