About me
Hello! Welcome to English 7! I am your new teacher Ms. Garcia. I started my career as an elementary teacher in Napa. I am very exited to have made the jump to junior high school.
Like many children I did not enjoy reading as a child. It was always a struggle with my learning disability. It wasn't until recently when I discovered the joy of listening to books that I became an avid reader.
In my free time you will find me walking my dog Honey, reading, riding or hiking with my friends or volunteering at Giant Steps Therapeutic Equestrian Center.
