  Ms. Ana, Teacher - Spanish

  My name is Ana Grindstaff. I have been married for fourteen years.  We have a ten-year-old son whose name is Santiago.  We are big FC Dallas fans and enjoy attending their games.  I am originally from Cali, Colombia where I enjoyed hiking and bicycling.  I have a BS degree majoring in Business Administration and minoring in Human Relations.  I spent seventeen years in the banking industry holding various positions.   One year ago I had the opportunity to teach at a private school where I found fulfillment and satisfaction introducing young children to the Spanish language.  Seeing the advantage my son has interacting in diverse settings where Spanish and English speakers are present, I hope to influence children to pursue Spanish as a second language.
