About Leanne

Quick Bio

Leanne Schwartz teaches English, poetry, drama, and history in San Diego. She believes in hard work, actively dismantling systems of oppression, and the power of singing along to show tunes.

 


Long Bio

  Leanne Schwartz grew up in Davis, California, reading piles of books and acting in local theater productions. In high school she cemented her status as a massive nerd, running a local theater company and attending the California State Summer School for the Arts for creative writing. 


  She completed her English degree and master's in education at UC Davis.   


    Leanne lives in San Diego with her family and loves teaching, theater, and actively dismantling systems of oppression. She can be found (pre-pandemic) spending too much time and money at her local independent bookstore, Mysterious Galaxy, yelling enthusiastically on Instagram or Twitter about books, and corrupting the minds of America's youth (as an English teacher).
