About Ms. Gonzalez
Ms. Gonzalez was born and raised in Santa Ana and is proud to now teach in the same community that shaped her. As the Business and Entrepreneurship teacher at Circulos High School, she’s passionate about showing students that success is possible — no matter where you start.
Her classes are all about empowerment, creativity, and real-world learning. Students don’t just learn about business — they build one. By the time they leave her classroom, they’ve created something of their own and gained the confidence to turn their dreams into reality.
Ms. Gonzalez believes in teaching beyond textbooks — helping students develop leadership, teamwork, and financial skills they’ll use for life. Her mission is to inspire every student to see themselves as future entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers.
