Hafa Adai! Welcome to Level 4 AM Class (Low Intermediate)
Welcome to Level 4!
I am the AM teacher for Level 4. I was born and raised in Guam with immigrant parents from the Philippines, and my cultural upbringing deeply shapes my approach to teaching. My love for culture and learning from others feeds my teaching philosophy and inspires me to create a classroom where every voice and background is valued. I believe that the true strength of a classroom lies in the collaboration of its learners. For me, the most meaningful learning happens when it is engaging, purposeful, and filled with curiosity and laughter.
Educational Background
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Family Life and Child Development from the University of the Philippines, Diliman. I later received my Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of Southern California. In addition to teaching Level 4 in the morning, I also teach at El Camino College.
