California Association for Bilingual Education (CABE)

President - Dulce Castellon

My name is Dulce Yamile Castellon, and I am a first-generation DACA recipient graduate student. I received my bachelor's degree from CSULB in Human Development with a minor in Child Development. I also recently earned my Masters of Arts in Teaching and a Multiple subject credential through Pepperdine GSEP. As an undocumented person growing up in the United States since the age of two years old, it was challenging assimilating to the cultural and linguistic change of the country. I felt that my family and I were subject to discrimination because our culture was perceived as a deficit. Now as a future educator, it is my educational philosophy to promote biliteracy, multicultural competency, and educational equity for my future students and their families. I am honored to be serving as President for CABE chapter three.

Vice President - Jinhee Lee

My name is Genie Lee, and I am a student in the Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership program. I am passionate about learning different world languages and believe languages connect people because they reflect cultures. I am excited to join the CABE Pepperdine chapter. I look forward to communicating and supporting diverse education communities.

Secretary - Hua Huang

My name is Hua Huang, and I am pursuing a Master of Arts in TESOL at Pepperdine University.
