Hello Cabrillo students! I have a Master's Degree in Creative Writing, Poetry, from California State University, a Master's Degree with coursework in fiction, service-learning, and language studies from Antioch University, and a Master's Degree in Cultural Studies from Claremont University.
As an English instructor, I want students explore their own cultures, identities, and histories through writing and discussion about current ideas. As an Umoja educator, I champion African America cultural traditions as a tool for college success.
