Hi! I have been a teacher at Garfield High School for over 17 years. After graduating from UCLA with degree in English, I attended UCLA once again (2 more years as a Bruin!) to earn a Masters in Education. While I completed my Masters, I interviewed at many schools and instantly fell in love with Garfield High School. I am a PROUD bulldog. I care about the welfare and education of my students as I believe that education is power. If my students come out of my class understanding and thinking critically about what they are reading and writing powerfully then I have done my job well.
