welcome

Hello, I am Serena Mercado.  I was born and raised right here in Oceanside, CA.  I graduated from Vista High School where I was heavily involved in dance, cheer, and ASB.  After taking a couple of years off after high school, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics from California State University, San Marcos. I then went on to the graduate program there where I began teaching math courses and my passion for teaching was born. In 2008, I earned my Master’s Degree in Mathematics and continued to teach at CSUSM. I have also taught at MSJC and Palomar College. I joined MiraCosta College as Associate Faculty in Spring 2010. In Fall 2018, I was hired on full-time at MiraCosta. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my three children.
