Sandra Jung is a retired educator with 29 years of teaching experience at Arroyo High School, where she taught English, Dance, and Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID). A graduate of UCLA with a B.A. in World Arts and Cultures, with a focus in Theater Arts, Ms. Jung has led a dynamic and adventurous life that deeply enriched her teaching.

Before entering education, she toured internationally with the cultural performance group Up With People and served as a Club Mate and Entertainer at the Pacific Islands Club in Saipan. Eventually, she felt a calling to the classroom, where she dedicated nearly three decades to inspiring and empowering high school students.

Ms. Jung’s diverse background and life experiences have shaped her into an exceptional educator, known for her creativity, passion, and ability to connect with students from all walks of life.

She is an island girl at heart who loves to travel and volunteer; she helped to reforest when she planted a couple of trees in Madagascar. She loves all kinds of dance (esp. 80s and swing dance) and hopes to get back to climbing on fabric (like Cirque du Soleil performers). Her newest enterprise is teaching Practical Life Skills 101 to teens, young adults, and people who are striving to become their best selves.
