Terry Montelibano is passionate about reading and she hopes she can transfer that passion to her students. She also has extensive training in teaching writing. Every year, she becomes more finicky about style,grammar, and grace in writing, which students will appreciate several years after taking her class. She graduated from the University of California at Santa Cruz in English and has a Multiple and Single Subject credential from San Jose State. In her "spare" time, she raises her two children--Erika and Emery--practices yoga, hikes, runs, cooks and goes to the movies. She finds time to read everyday, no matter what.
