Hi! I am Trina, I am passionate about my family, reading great books to cultivate my imagination, baking and the beach. I am a credentialed Secondary English Teacher who has in class and online experience with students from Kindergarten to High School. I have also worked as a ELA tutor for a few years. What makes me happy at Bookclub is getting to know my students and their interests and coming alongside them on the lifelong quest of learning. One of my favorite kids books would be the entire Narnia series by CS Lewis, I have loved reading those with my oldest son. I look forward to meeting you.
