Hello,
My name is Ms. Briana and I am absolutely honored to be your child’s preschool teacher this year! I grew up right here in Carson, Ca, and have been a preschool teacher since 2014. I graduated from Los Angeles Harbor College and received my degree in Liberal Arts. I am currently in school for Occupational Therapy at American Career College and will be graduating in Spring 2024. My favorite hobbies include hiking, weightlifting, and spending time with my amazing family. I have been a member of our church Mission Eben-Ezer since the day I was born, and I love the Lord with all my heart! Working with children has been such an incredible and fulfilling experience and I am so excited to take on The Little Tanks class this year!
