Greetings from Ms. Packman

My passion for history has led me to teach, hoping to pass this joy to my students.

I was born in Havana, Cuba and came to this country when I was 3 years old. I lived in Florida for three years, then my family moved to Southern California, which has been my home ever since.

My love of teaching led me to earn my California Clear Credential and a Master's Degree in Education from Loyola Marymount University.

I have had the pleasure of teaching at Westchester Lutheran for over twenty years.

In my free time I enjoy playing guitar, listening to music (love the Beatles), gardening, reading, and traveling.
