My name is Alexa Milman and I am so excited to be your child's teacher. I was born and raised in Southern California. I received my bachelor's degree in Biology at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where I was interested in a career in Marine Biology. I completed two internships: One was studying humpback whales in a remote lighthouse in Southeast Alaska and the other was working in the education department at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. My work never felt quite right until I began teaching children at the aquarium. I began pursuing a career in education and I've never been more sure of my purpose and career path. I received my Multiple Subjects teaching credential from Cal State Fullerton. I am still passionate about science and nature. I love animals, cooking, playing piano, photography, snowboarding, spending time with my friends and family, scuba diving, and taking my dog Mika to the beach. I also make jewelry and started my own jewelry business!
