Megan Plank
English 11
Originally from Northern California, Megan Plank made her way to Los Angeles for college. While earning her bachelor's degree in Screenwriting from Loyola Marymount University, she played Division I water polo and worked in student media.
After graduating, Ms. Plank was convinced by her father, a high-school math teacher, to work as a substitute at her former high school district and junior high. It was there, working alongside her former teachers, that she realized her passion for teaching and decided to pursue it full-time. Now entering her fifth year in education and her fourth year at New West, Ms. Plank looks forward to imparting a passion for storytelling to her students.
