My name is Colt Marshall; after working in the fitness industry, emergency medical service, sales, office administration, retail, and public recreation, it was education that finally gave me a clear direction in life.

I have been working in the education field since 2010, specializing in Language Arts and Special Education. I started working at a Simi Valley High School in 2010 as a Paraeducator in Special Education. I worked with students with moderate to severe disabilities, including but not limited to Autism, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, and Fragile X. I specialized in inclusive services, adapting general education course material for my student’s individual needs so they could pass their general education classes despite their disability. Once I transferred to California State University Northridge to continue my education, I started working as a Supplemental English Instructor for the university's SI English Program. 
 

Working full time and going to school, I earned four Associate of Arts Degrees in English, Liberal Studies, Sociology, and Psychology from Moorpark College. I continued my education, transferring into the Credential program for teaching English at the Secondary Education levels at CSUN. I will graduate with a Bachelor's Degree and Single Subject English credential in the Spring of 2022.
