I am Mr. Quintero, welcome to my site! I was born in Fresno but grew up Coachella, California. I am the oldest of 4 and the first in my family to attend college! I have a B.A. in Criminal Justice from California State University, San Bernardino. After graduating from college I substituted for the Coachella Valley Unified School District for 4 years and later worked as a Case Manager for out-of school youth. After 2 years of working as a Case Manager I realized that my true calling was teaching and decided to return to school and enroll in the single-subject teaching credential program at California State University, San Marcos. I have a passion for history and strive to spark interest and curiosity in all students.
