As an undergraduate and graduate student in CSUN’s history department, I developed a passion for history. I am indebted to my outstanding professors for nurturing this passion. As a high school history teacher, I use what I learned at CSUN every day, and I hope to instill in my students an appreciation of history and an understanding of its impact on our present. My education at CSUN prepared me for the difficult work of creating a curriculum for my students. I learned how to tell stories and to make history come alive for students. I also realized the importance of being a life-long learner. I will forever be grateful for the education I gained through the CSUN history department.
