My name is Ann Chen, and I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I attended Los Angeles High School and went on to UCLA to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in Education. I also hold a Master’s degree in Elementary Education from Cal State LA.
When I'm not in the classroom, my time is spent with my family-my husband, eight-year-old daughter named Natalie, and my four-year-old son named Ryan. I love to watch and attend professional sporting events, including baseball, basketball, and football. Go Dodgers, Lakers, and Raiders!!!
This academic year will mark my sixteenth year as a credentialed teacher in LAUSD. My experiences include teaching 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade. This is my eighth year teaching at Fairburn, and I look forward to what is to come. I am so excited to teach 2nd grade this year! This is a rewarding profession, and I could not imagine myself doing anything else. I consider myself a lifelong learner, and I hope to instill that in my students. Seeing a child's growth both academically and socially as they strive to reach their full potential is the best part of this job.
