Meet Your Instructor: 

Mrs. Ausmus received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Mathematics from CSU Channel Islands.  She has been teaching since 2011, and has been at Santa Ana College since 2015.  She loves teaching every level of math.  She doesn't do much else outside of work because she has an adorable baby boy who takes up all her energy. She's a little camera shy, ergo the "Bitmoji".

Her adorable 9-month-old boy is not camera shy.
