Hola, my name is Ofelia Cervera.  I am honored to serve our Wells community as Assistant Principal. I have been in education for 23 years and learning is my passion.  I am a first-generation college graduate.  My bachelor's degree is from the University of California- San Diego, where I majored in Chicano Studies-History.  I have a master of arts in teaching from Chapman University and a doctorate in organizational leadership from USC.  I joined Wells in 2019 as the Instructional Coach and have enjoyed working with our students, staff, and familias.  My studies focused on providing learning opportunities that are student-centered and strength-based. 

My professional experience includes teaching kindergarten for eleven years, grades first, second, fifth, and middle school.  I was an EL Instructional Specialist and Middle School Instructional Coach.  

I believe every student should have the right to learn in a nurturing, safe, and positive environment, where they are seen and valued. I feel my role is to empower students to build agency and self-advocacy. My desire is for students to aspire to reach their full potential.  

 Mil gracias, for the opportunity to serve and support our students, familias, and Wells staff.
