Teaching Style:
I believe my teaching style is motivational, encouraging, educational and fun!
My goal is to encourage students not only to excel in academics, but also to encourage them to get involved with activities on campus.  I want to make City College a home away from home, a place where people enjoy themselves and look forward to returning. San Diego City College is a great place to receive an educational experience from.

"We have a great bunch of athletes who not only love to play the game, but they get along better than any team I've ever had. We are going to have a very fun season. I hope you have a chance to come and see us play."
Coach Dede Bodnar
