Hello, students and parents! My name is Ms. Lorna Diaz, and beyond my passion for teaching, I am someone who truly enjoys creativity, adventure, and meaningful connections. I am an avid reader and writer, always eager to explore new ideas and express thoughts through storytelling and reflection. Whether diving into a great book or crafting my own narratives, I believe that words have the power to inspire, educate, and transform perspectives. I also love drawing and visual art, finding joy in bringing imagination to life through sketches and creative designs. Expressing ideas through art fuels my creativity and allows me to connect with the world in a unique way. Outside of academics and creativity, I embrace adventure—I am a certified scuba diver, and I absolutely love exploring the underwater world. There's something truly magical about the beauty beneath the surface, reminding me of the importance of curiosity and lifelong learning. Most importantly, I cherish spending time with my family and friends, making memories and sharing experiences that bring laughter, joy, and personal growth. These connections remind me that learning isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about the people we meet and the journey we take together.
