Erin Bates

Nest Lead

Erin Bates ’04 knew since she was in the Treehouse classroom she wanted to come back and teach at Sequoyah.

She attended Immaculate Heart High School and graduated from Loyola Marymount University in 2012, with a degree in elementary education. She went on to earn her teaching credential. During that time, she focused her studies on progressive education and tried to integrate her learning about teaching methods in traditional public school settings with how she learned as a student at Sequoyah. In 2016, she received her Master of Education from Cal State Los Angeles, focusing on literacy and diverse literature in the young elementary classroom.

Erin loves working with her former teachers and enjoys keeping alive the Sequoyah traditions of her childhood for her students.
