About Ms. Cobb

By Ms. Cobb
Hello! Thanks for visiting this section of the class website. My name is Ms. Cobb and this is my second year at Alliance MIT 6-12 Complex. Before working here, I worked at Alliance Ouchi-O'Donovan 6-12 Complex as the 8th grade history teacher. I am very excited to be working closer to my home in the valley! 

 I was born and raised in Southern California and have known since I was five years old that I wanted to become a teacher. History was always my favorite subject in school and my history teachers were some of my biggest inspirations! 

After high school I went to CSU Fullerton where I received my degree in Political Science and Comparative Religion. I then went straight to CSU Long Beach for my single subject teaching credential in Social Science. United States history was always my favorite and I'm so excited to be able to teach it to you! I hope to challenge the way you think about history and have some fun doing it. 

I love Disney, comic books, watching movies, traveling with my husband, and hanging out with my dogs Baxter & Dolly as well as my cat Hannah Solo.
