Salina Serricchio-Joiner 

TAP Executive Director

Salina Serricchio-Joiner grew up in California. In 2005, she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations from the University of Southern California, and in 2007 she received a master's degree in Special Education from Loyola Marymount University.

Salina started her teaching career in 2005 at Locke high School in Watts, CA. She then went on to teach at Green Dot Public Charter Schools. Her passion for union work began in 2009 when the nation was facing a recession. To ensure that her fellow colleagues were minimally impacted from the harsh budget cuts that swept across California; she joined her union's bargaining team.

Salina has served the union in various capacity. She has been a bargaining chair, vice president, and local president.  In 2016, she joined the California Teachers Association. She now resides in Long Beach with her partner, 8-year-old daughter, and her two dogs Billie and Kona.
