Adriana Bronzina

Adriana Bronzina found her passion for education in her final year of studies at UCLA when she volunteered at St. Malachy Parish School in South Los Angeles. She became a full-time first grade teacher upon graduation and in her three years there helped to establish an after-school tutoring and support program. She continued to teach first grade at Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Parish School in Montebello for another three years where she also served as the Curriculum Coordinator.

Starting in 2006, Adriana spent the next eleven years at Salesian High School in Boyle Heights where she served as an English and Religion teacher, Curriculum Coordinator, and, eventually, the Assistant Principal of Academics. She continued her work with older students helping to develop student support programs and academic growth initiatives at Pius Matthias Academy in Downey, where she served as the Dean of Student Success.
