About
I am Vanessa Loke, an experienced and dedicated educator with nearly a decade of teaching English Language Arts at the secondary level. I hold a California Preliminary Teaching Credential and a Master’s degree in Teaching and Learning with an emphasis in Social-Emotional Learning. My work interests include education, student support, curriculum development, and administrative roles where I can utilize my strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to communicate effectively. I am passionate about helping others succeed and thrive in structured, collaborative environments. My strengths include adaptability, professionalism, and a commitment to maintaining confidentiality and accuracy in all tasks—skills I’ve developed both in the classroom and in previous administrative support roles.
