Ms. Park is currently a Literacy Coach for the Santa Ana Unified School District. She has taught 6th and 8th grade English Language Arts, 6th grade math, and 7th grade AVID during her time as a classroom teacher. She strives to encourage student success and facilitate a learning environment where her students can flourish into critical thinkers, creative innovators, and globally-minded individuals.

Deborah graduated from UCLA as a communication studies major with an art history minor. She has had internships at various publicity firms, such as Rogers & Cowan's Film and Fashion publicity departments, as well as the publicity department for the Hammer Museum. She also worked as an editorial assistant at the J. Paul Getty Museum, which gave her insanely-fast-proofreading-editing-powers; however, her passion is in teaching. She received her masters degree in Teaching and a single-subject credential in English from UC Irvine. She adores the work and literature of Joseph Beuys, John Steinbeck, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edouard Manet, Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe, and John Keats. Her favorite cities are Berlin, Paris, and Istanbul. She loves art museums, Oscar-worthy films, Emmy-winning television shows, KCRW, Martha Stewart, the stories in the New Yorker, Vogue magazine, Target, and Starbucks Americanos.
