My Published Works
I am a 25-year veteran teacher currently serving the city of Santa Ana: the colorful but mostly dismissed section of Orange County, California. I teach reading and writing to local students at an inner-city intermediate school.
I hold an English degree from the University of California, Irvine; a teaching credential from California State University, Long Beach; as well as a Masters in Fine Arts in Creative Writing from National University.
