Welcome to my teaching portfolio!

Hello! My name is Julissa Torres (she/her), and I am a recent graduate of the Master of Arts in Teaching program at Brown University. I am a Chicana from the San Franciso Bay Area, and I moved to Rhode Island four years ago to complete my undergraduate degree in English at Brown University before pursuing my Master's there. I have recently returned to California to develop my teaching career and give back to my community.  

Growing up in a family of immigrants, I understood from a young age the power education holds. I've been privileged to enter academic spaces where I have been cared for and pushed to grow. I want to give back by creating a similar environment for my students. Among other things, I hope to create a space where every student has a role model and opportunities to succeed.
