Welcome to Cabrillo College. I'm the English instructor for both STARS and the Puente learning communities, and I also teach creative writing classes. My specialty is the US Latinx experience and poetry. I organize my classes in order to create a learning environment where we work as a writing community in support of each other's efforts. I have to brag that the pass rates for my classes are over 80% and that is because I am here to work with you and to help you succeed in college. Together we can create the world we want and that includes your success as a college student and writer.

Join the STARS and Puente learning communities and get extra support while exploring social justice themes, artistic expression, and what makes the world go round.
