Hey everyone!
My name is Kallista Yan, and I will be teaching Ethnic Studies and World History this year. I graduated in 2024 with my B.A. in History from UC San Diego and recently graduated from Teacher's College of San Joaquin with my Single-Subject Credential in Social Sciences. I'm super excited to be here with you all!
When I'm not at work, I love to crochet and spend time with my family. I'm actually in the process of crocheting a blanket! I also love watching anime, and my boyfriend and I love to rewatch our childhood favorites.
