I am an Innovation Studios Guide at iLEAD Pacoima and have been a middle school facilitator for the past five years. I have expertise in the field of history and earned my degree at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. I have been in the teaching field for about six years. I knew at a young age that I wanted to pursue a career in education, and it was only a matter of time before I discovered my love for history. Learning about different cultures and civilizations has always been an area of interest, and I enjoy sharing that knowledge with others. I was raised one of four kids in a bilingual home with parents of Mexican descent in Baldwin Park, a predominantly Latino community outside Los Angeles. When I’m not at iLEAD Pacoima, I like to cook, spend time with my family — especially with my nieces and nephews — as well as stay active by hiking, kickboxing and traveling.
