Hello City Heights Prep Community!
My name is Ashlee Palafox, one of the Assistant Teachers on the City Heights Prep Team. I am honored to collaborate with an incredible group of educators and students. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Public Health from Cal State University, Northridge and a Masters of Education in Progress from Western Governors University. I primarily work in the Science Department here at City Heights, assisting with Middle School Science, High School Science, ELD, and Middle School Reading Enrichment.
I have over 10 years in the Education and Health fields, previously serving as a K-12 Substitute Teacher throughout the San Diego Unified School District. I am a Certified Fitness Trainer and Nutrition Coach through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and am enthusiastic to bring my knowledge/ expertise of Health and Wellness into the Science Curriculum as well as during Physical Education class. I also held the position of an Assistant Science Teacher in Huntington Beach, prior to relocating to San Diego, CA. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Northern California and moved to Southern California to pursue higher education and gain more work experience.
In my free time I enjoy traveling, hiking, going to the beach, walking during a sunset/ sunrise, and reading. I am so excited to be apart of an amazing community of students and staff!
