Hi! My name is Demi Gonzalez and I was a peer mentor Spring 2019 for the Caminos Project. I love being outdoors, learning, trying new food and coffee places, and exercising. Currently, I am finishing up my single subject teaching credential and I received my bachelor's degree in K-12 Physical Education Teacher Education in Fall 2019. This upcoming semester, I am student teaching at Los Amigos High School in GGUSD. After student teaching, I plan on looking for a teaching job in physical education within the Orange County area. After working for a couple of years in the public school arena, I plan to go back to school to finish my educational journey and obtain both a Master's Degree and Ph.D. somewhere within the realm of education. I became involved in the Caminos Project to learn how to accept my culture and utilize its strengths in an asset-based approach, while recognizing, acknowledging, and utilizing the strengths of other cultures within the community and in my future classroom.
