Dedicated K-12 Educator

The past seven years, Briana has taught as a long-term substitute teacher for LAUSD. With her compassionate, and highly-motivated personality she finds ways to connect with her students and provide effective whole group, small group, and individualized learning plans catered to student needs. Briana believes that all students are capable of learning and excelling in the classroom if educators build healthy relationships with them, encourage their students to reach their goals, and teach to unique student learning styles.

Throughout her career in education, Briana has taught at various elementary schools in South LA, Watts, and Gardena, California. She has also interned at Cal Poly Pomona and UCLA, and worked at USC. Her first-hand experience in the K-12 system and the higher education system has given her the opportunity to do research on bridging the educational gap and strengthening the educational pathway from K-12 to postsecondary education.
