Instructor: Ivette Mendoza
My name is Ivette Mendoza, I am an English teacher at SHCP. I grew up in Southern California before relocating to San Francisco three years ago. My main interests include linguistics, technological innovations and fitness. When I am not working, I love exploring hiking/walking trails with my partner Tyler and our dog Buddy, learning new craft skills, and experimenting with different cooking recipes. I know it is a bit of a cliche, but I enjoy reading novels and plays, especially historical fiction and problem plays along with comic books and history books.
