I have had the pleasure of teaching our wonderful West High students for many
years. Every day offers discovery and challenges that keep me inspired. I
also enjoy involvement in on-site and district-wide policy development
and training, which keeps me abreast of the educational tide.
I love the stimulation of teaching a wide range of grade levels, including
the classes I teach at El Camino College.
Additionally, I have the great joy of being adviser to the Freshman Focus
Club, which provides information and support to the freshman class.
In compliance with California State and National Standards, students will
read novels, non-fiction, short stories, and poetry. They will study and
analyze literary devices, conventions, and themes of literature. Analytical
writing, vocabulary development, and editing skills will be a major focus.
