Hello everyone! My name is Ms. Laserna, or Ms. L for short. I teach Algebra 1, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus. I like math because it is always constant; while the world can be chaotically changing at times, math is always structured with rules that never change. I am especially passionate about equity and social justice through education. In my free time, you can find me embroidering, playing the piano, or fostering rescue dogs.

Since 2014, she has expanded our sports medicine program in the past 5 years by acquiring over half a million dollars in funding, providing the most innovative technology for her Patient Care Pathway students and improving the quality of care to her student-athletes.

She works closely with our school nurse, Pat Noble, to provide the highest quality of healthcare possible to our student-athletes.
