Hello, I’m Zak!

I'm a high school Humanities teacher focused on creating safe spaces for students to thrive and social emotional learning to develop strong empathy for one another.

10th Grade Humanities Teacher

High Tech High Media Arts

I am in my third year as a teacher of record at HTHMA. Currently teaching 10th grade, my students typically have multiple projects throughout their time with me. From research presentations about historical events to large performances, students build confidence in front of audiences. My focus for students is on collaboration and real world applications. I enjoy working with individuals on areas of growth and finding ways they can elevate them using their strengths.
