About Me
Mrs. Lorz
Welcome to my middle school math class page! I am thrilled to be teaching Math 7 and Integrated Math 1 this year. I am very passionate about math and know that we are going to learn so many new and exciting things together. I want to work closely and communicate with parents on a regular basis to help your child be successful.
This is my 4th year at Guajome Park Academy but my 10th year of teaching. I also served for 2 years in the U.S. Peace Corps as a Teacher Trainer in the Education Sector. I worked at a K-8 school in a village in the Gambia, West Africa. I am a UCLA Alumna and earned my Master’s Degree in Math Education at SDSU. It is truly an honor to work here at GPA!
In my free time I coach gymnastics at Oceanside Gymnastics, play with my cat, exercise, and am learning to garden and cook. I enjoy walks on the beach, hiking, and listening to country music.
