I come to LGA after teaching ELA at Cesar Chavez in Santa Ana for six years. While there, I was the Department Chair, on the ILT team, and was the PM program leadership teacher. I have a BA in English, and an MFA in Creative Writing. I’ve been in education fifteen years, and in those years, I’ve taught Adult School, Community College, Alt Ed, grades 9-12 ELA, Speech and Debate, as well as Honors English. One of my gifts is helping others to see their value so they can discover and unlock their potential.
