I attended: The University of San Diego

I was born in: The Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego, California.

Before teaching at AHS: I began my teaching career on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota at Red Cloud Indian School. When I left I taught at both public and private schools in CA. Just before leaving CA I was a lecturer and supervisor in the teacher education program at UC San Diego.

I teach at AHS because: When I moved here, I had 9 interviews in a matter of 3 days. The first of these was here at AHS. After spending some time with Mr. Carayiannis and Mrs. Chmura, I left AHS convinced that this was where I was meant to teach. I shared my thoughts with my fiance on my way to my next interview. He told me to calm down and realize this was only the first interview of many. However, my gut was right. I have been very happy teaching here since I arrived in VA.

In my free time: If I interpret free time to mean time not spent here at AHS… I spend my time with my husband and our almost 5 year old. Our son keeps us on our toes building lego sets and playing superhero and bad guys. I am often assuming the role of WonderWoman, Batgirl or Owlette.

I am Brianne Trotochaud.
