Hello Lynhaven Community! My name is Sophia Lonac and I am from Campbell and grew up in the Campbell Union School district myself! I've known I wanted to be a teacher since I was in elementary school. I attended Azusa Pacific University for my undergrad degree and continued on to get my masters and teaching credential at California Baptist University. I got to spend a lot of time in the classroom student teaching and subbing, and it confirmed to me that teaching is what I love to do. My favorite part of teaching is the relationships I get to build with my students. I look forward to seeing them everyday! I love to cook in my free time. I enjoy trying new recipes and making them for my family. A fun fact about me is that I can sing and play guitar! I used to write my own music.
