My name is Chelsea Todoroff and I was raised in Oakland, California. In 1998, I moved to San Diego to attend UCSD. I have lived in San Diego for the past 11 years except for one year when I moved home. I currently live in Oceanside with my fiance. He has three children from a previous marriage and I am extremely lucky to have them in my life. Besides school, I enjoy reading, playing beach volleyball and running. I am planning to teach moderate to severe special education. I have worked with middle school students in a special education and I this is definitely my calling.
I hate admitting that computers still scare me but they do. I have been using them for years but I am still intimidated by them. I use computers for basic functions, such as email and word processing. I prefer to use PCs but I am looking forward to being competent with a Mac as well.
The part of the mission statement that stands out most to me is the commitment to educational equity and diversity. In my experience I have worked at schools in middle upper class areas as well as schools in lower class areas. It is upsetting to me that all students are not given the same opportunities therefore not given equal access to education. I really like the fact that CSUSM wants to make a difference and provide all students with equal access to education.
