Hi! My name is Ms. Reza and I will be your ELA teacher for the 2024-2025 school year! This is my fourth year at La Salle II Magnet School, and I am super excited to continue to grow with the La Salle II community! Previously, I taught for six years at Dayton Public Schools in Ohio. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in English from THE Ohio State University (Go Bucks!), my Master of Science in English Education from Syracuse University, and my Master of Education in Literacy from Wright State University. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. from University of Illinois-Chicago. When I am not in school, I spend my time traveling, playing video games, reading, or cuddling my dog, Lola!
Please feel free to reach me though email. We aim for a 48-hour business day response time for emails sent to school personnel. Our main priority is quality instruction for students and we do our best to respond as quickly as possible.
