INTRODUCTION

Having worked with students in Los Angeles for the past 8 years, I am delighted to be working with the Chatsworth Charter High School family. Having a wide range of interests, there is nothing I'd rather do for a living than teach high school science. I've taught Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, Genetics, Physiology, and Anthropology, as well as a variety of online English courses including the district's new enrichment course, Titanic. 
 
It’s important for me to be prepared to address the diverse needs of students, giving them the support they need so that all can achieve their academic goals as well as challenging those who are willing to go the extra mile. My commitment is to fostering collaborative and interesting educational environments to encourage and develop thoughtful and productive students who take pride in their learning.
 
Students learn that I’m flexible, dedicated, and that I will work hard to help prepare them to achieve their goals. 
 
HOBBIES
Elsa

As a curious, adventurous person, I have many interests. I do a fair bit of writing and gaming in addition to doing other things like hiking, short trips, and going on any interesting adventures that come my way. Do you have something you'd like to share with me? Let me know! I might find yet another new hobby.
