Joseph Diven

In-House Substitute

I became an educator because… I want to make a positive difference in the lives of others. I want to contribute to children growing up with a strong, compassionate foundation.

Prior to Equitas, I… went to college in New York State and moved to Los Angeles in 2019. I worked in the entertainment industry for a few years before making the fulfilling transition into education, and I'm so glad I did.

I chose Equitas because… I found the team and culture here to be aligned with what I value in my career and life: joy, community, belonging, advocacy, and growth. I share these core values that everyone here strives to uphold every day.

Outside of school, I enjoy… Movies, animals, comedy, music, and spending quality time with the people I love.
