About Me

Welcome to my About Me page, where you are going to read a little about me! My name is Brenda Hazen, and I am from Murrieta, CA. I was born and raised in Escondido, CA until I moved to Murrieta in 1998. I went to Rincon Elementary School for two years, then I transferred to North Broadway Elementary in Esco for my remaining elementary school. In Murrieta, I spent my middle school years at Thompson Middle School and I graduated high school at Murrieta Valley High School, and then I attended Palomar College in San Marcos and I recieved two AA degrees- not intentionally. I am currently enrolled in the BS Mathematics program at Cal State San Marcos and I am really hoping to be a great trigonometry teacher some day!

As for my technology capabilities, I am definiately not planning to be a part of the Geek Squad any time soon! I took an introductory computer course at Palomar that preps me for computer programming- which I'll be planning on taking next semester. Unfortunately, I seem to be the last to know about the "in the know" technology stuff- I don't own a Mac, or an Iphone, or a Ipad, but give me some credit, I do own a Ipod! When it comes to technology, I just feel like I can't keep up, there is always going to be something bigger, better, and more expensive. Even though I don't necessarily have the  time and the financial ability to keep up with technology, I don't believe I'll be completly lost in the technology competency part of this course.

The CSUSM/ COE Mission Statement means to me how I can be an active participant in our society by engaging in principles of educational equity and social justice. I want to be part of our community by working in a classroom that is anti-racist and multicultural, and by becoming an effective professional who engages in life-long learning!
