Hi, I’m Diana (she/her)! I was born in Orange County, California. With experience supporting students with learning differences in inclusive settings, I’m passionate about project-based learning and creating spaces where all students feel seen, supported, and empowered. I have a B.A. in Visual Arts Studio from UCSD and an MFA from CalArts. Before becoming a teacher, I spent over 20 years as a professional tattoo artist and small business owner. Inspired by the teachers who changed my life, I now bring that same care and creativity to the classroom.

Outside of school, I love making art, running long distances on trails, cuddling my chihuahuas and spending time with my family.
