I’m a San Diego native who was educated at San Diego State University and the Claremont Graduate School. One of the highlights of my life as a student was living in Paris, France, where I had the opportunity to study the language and meet a wide variety of people from around the world. I have also taught on deployed Navy warships as a community college instructor. I currently teach 11th and 12th grade humanities at The Gary and Jerri-Ann Jacobs High Tech High and classes in reading and writing methods and the philosophy of education for the HTH credentialing program. My interests include music, reading, travel, cinema (including HBO series!), and spending leisurely Sunday mornings with the newspaper.
