JACKIE PABON

Ms. Pabon was born in Staten Island, NY, past home of three members of the Professional Bowlers Hall of Fame.  At age eight, Ms. Pabon and her family moved to Santa Barbara.  Her parents claim the family moved because Ms. Pabon’s Staten Island accent was so striking.  It was, though, on Staten Island that Ms. Pabon began playing the violin.

Once in Santa Barbara, Ms. Pabon, repeated third grade (she’d gone through that grade in New York).  Ironically, that’s the grade she now teaches.  Ms. Pabon wisely chose Westmont College and is proud to have earned her degree in Liberal Studies upon graduation.

Ms. Pabon is grateful for the community atmosphere at IV School.  She also appreciates the proximity of the campus to ocean bluffs and the opportunity to take a quick walk there during lunch breaks.

When she’s not working, Ms. Pabon enjoys spending time with family and friends, riding her bike, hiking, reading, playing and listening to music, and trying out new recipes.

KRISTA LUCCHI

Ms. Lucchi grew up in the Bay Area, and spends the majority of her breaks there as it remains very near & dear to her heart. She played basketball and softball throughout most of her youth, and was also an avid participant in her high school ASB, which has influenced her work as the I.V. Student Council coordinator since 2018. 

She attended UCSB and worked at the UCSB children’s center from 2007 - 2011. She graduated with a B.A. in English and a minor in Education in 2011, and received her credential and Masters in Education from Gevirtz Graduate School in 2012. Her favorite classes were her modern literature classes and Black Studies classes. One of her most memorable classes was a class with her favorite professor based on graphic novels. 

Ms. Lucchi loves any opportunity to travel and see new places. Some of her favorite trips were when she studied abroad in Greece, her summer-long trip through Europe, and a road trip closer to home through California and Oregon. She's been to Bali twice and would gladly return again and again if she could! 

Ms. Lucchi appreciates the kindness and dedication she sees in all of the Isla Vista staff, students, and families and feels so honored to be part of the Isla Vista Community.
