Jane began her teaching career in college by working as a tutor and mentoring younger girls from her church. She very soon discovered both a love for instructing and investing the lives of her students. After graduating from UCLA with a degree in English, she continued on there to receive her teaching credential and Masters degree in Education. She was blessed to be hired at the first school she interviewed with, a middle school in the Los Angeles Unified School District. She taught everything from art, math, science, history and language arts for ten exciting and satisfying years. After getting married and raising her children at home, she entered into the teaching field again through mentoring other teachers through various professional development classes. She also began teaching composition and reading comprehension to international students online. Now, she is very excited to be back in the classroom investing in the ILA community! In her spare time, she enjoys serving alongside her husband in the various ministry responsibilities he has. She also enjoys homeschooling her four children and occasionally playing with her dog!
