With a proven track record of teaching at many levels, from elementary school through college, Annaliisa Wilson is passionate about connecting with students and supporting them to achieve their personal goals. She has been a Montessori educator, a professor at San Diego City College, and an English professor for a charter high school where students graduate with an associate’s degree. At San Diego City College, she supported students who were juggling full-time coursework with full-time personal responsibilities and challenges and helped connect them with adequate assistance from faculty and college services.
As a military spouse, Annaliisa relocated to Northwest Florida, where she began teaching English at the local state college and secured a tenure-track position as the English professor for their charter high school. Meanwhile, she began PhD coursework in English at Florida State University.
Last year, Annaliisa returned to Southern California to be near family as she began a new chapter personally and professionally. After becoming a single mom to her four young children, she began training as a postpartum doula, baby-wearing educator, and lactation educator. She currently works within the birth and postpartum community supporting and educating caregivers from diverse backgrounds, is pursuing work in higher education, and is finishing her PhD coursework — all in pursuit of supporting others in achieving success.
