ABBY HEPBURN

From the start, Ms. Hepburn has felt a natural connection to teaching. She has always been drawn to helping students grow, whether they are just starting preschool or navigating upper elementary challenges. Her early years in preschool classrooms fueled her passion for education and shaped her approach to fostering curiosity and confidence in learners.

Ms. Hepburn earned her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and Master’s Degree through UCSB’s Teacher Education Program, completing her student teaching at Isla Vista School. After teaching 1st grade for a few years in the Bay Area, she returned to Isla Vista and has loved being a Seahawk ever since.

She cherishes Isla Vista School’s diverse and vibrant community, the families who bring it to life, and the supportive, collaborative staff who make every school day meaningful. Beyond the classroom, Ms. Hepburn enjoys running, reading, and strolling along Santa Barbara's beautiful beaches. She can often be found wandering around a bookstore or grabbing a latte from a local coffee shop.
