Autumn
Lettieri
Special Education teacher
Introduction: I graduated from Cal State Fullerton and this is my first year of teaching, ever,
and I am getting my masters in teaching with an emphasis in Special Education.
When I was a kid, I wanted to become a dental hygienist but my sister inspired
me to pursue this career.
What events are you looking forward to?
I really want to go to Homecoming because I heard that the half-time shows are great. I also
heard that the entertainment corps here is top-notch. I’m also interested in
water polo.
What is one strange habit you have?
I have a habit of forgetting people’s names. I also tend to multitask so much so that I will
start a task and forget about it.
Daniel Navar
Latin teacher
Introduction:
Igrew up in Roland Heights in California and I graduated from Berkeley with a
major in Ancient Languages. I do Latin immersion camps during the summer and
before I came here, I used to teach at Crossroads High School in Santa Monica.
I enjoy fishing and camping.
What events are you looking forward to?
I heard thatWoodbridge has an excellent marching band. Oh, and when we play games against Catholic
high schools in Orange County I will be double-supportive because I graduated
from a high school that played against those schools.
What is one weird habit you have?
As for food, I love many different kinds of dishes but I can eat eggplant in almost anything.

Introduction:
I graduated from the University of San Diego and previously taught at Cathedral
Catholic High School in San Diego and Mayfair High School in Lakewood. I have
been teaching World History, U.S. History and Psychology.
How did you get to teach here?
Well, I was looking for a job and I saw that Woodbridge was hiring so I applied.
What events are you looking forward to?
I’m very much looking forward to homecoming and especially the homecoming skits.
What is one weird fact about you?
I used to be a blonde, but that doesn’t sound so special. I used to do gymnastics
in high school. Is that weird enough?
Bryan DeWilde
Physics Teacher
Introduction:
I took a lot of science courses at UCLA in order to become a vet. But when I was
working at a vet hospital I didn’t agree with the quality of care that was
being provided. There are certain standards that have to be followed at the
place that weren’t being followed.
How did you get to teach here?
Well, my father-in-law taught at Uni so he was friends with Ms. Fosse. And when I was
teaching at Westminster High School in Long Beach, she told me Woodbridge was
hiring a new physics teacher. So last year Mr. Nakaue came to see me teach in
class and then I had a interview with administration.
What events are
you looking forward to?
I’m excited for Academic Decathlon and robotics. I used to play water polo in high
school so I want to see some aquatic sports matches and I heard that the band
and plays here are great. (The science department) is also planning a first
ever Boat Day at Woodbridge in June so I’m getting ready for that,
What is one weird fact about you?
I tend to repeat myself. When I’m in the classroom, I’ll say something and then I’ll
say it again. I tend to repeat myself often.
Keith Clarkson
Librarian
Introduction:
I used to teach at Garden Grove High School for the last four years where I also
coached water polo, swimming, at basketball.
How did you get to teach here?
I wanted to work closer to home and I leave in Irvine so I applied for a job at
Woodbridge.
What events are you looking forward to?
I’ve been involved in athletics since my previous job so I would like to see the
aquatics games here. I would also like to coach an aquatic sport.
What is one weird fact about you?
Well, I am sort of a neat freak. If there is clutter around me, I have to clean it up
and tidy everything.

also attended Woodbridge. After I finished college I moved back here and I
became an aide here in 2009 and this is my first year actually teaching.

Dome soon.

I was at Tustin high School before and I took some time off to be with my kids.
And then for one semester, I was a student teacher for Ms. Ogg and Ms. Donovan
before I started teaching here.
What events are you looking forward to?
I’m looking for the pep rallies and I want to hit all the sports once because my
kids are also involved in sports. Drama also always has something good showing.
What is one
weird fact about you?
I tend to pace in class. I have to walk around and talk and I can’t just sit down
and teach.
