Sunrise Middle School

8th Grade English
Hello! This is my third year teaching middle school. I was born and raised in Bakersfield, California, and I received my bachelors and credential degree in English at California State University of Bakersfield. I am a first generation college student, and I am passionate about engaging students through the power of literacy. My goal is to prepare my students for high school, college, and life through the skills learned in Language Arts.
