My name is Megan Pursel. This is my second year teaching as Denman's SOAR teacher. I grew up in Las Vegas before moving to Los Angeles where I attended USC for my BA in Neuroscience. After graduating I worked as a Registered Behavior Technician with children with autism for three and half years. It was then that I fell in love with working with kids and realized I wanted to work in schools as a Special Education teacher.

My main goal as a teacher is to help students find confidence in themselves as learners by building the skills they need to be successful.

In my free time I like to read and paint.
