Pablo Martin

paul.martin@gcccd.edu

I teach because I love it. This is my fifteenth year teaching and I am here because I find it to be one of the most rewarding, beneficial and meaningful jobs there are. In my opinion, we must all do our best to be open-minded, conscious, and contributing members to our environments—an idea I hope to pass on through my role here. I also want to help my students to develop (or continue to develop) a passion for learning about our world and our place in it in the hope that we can make it an even better place.
