Ethan Rappeport
( He/Him/His )Hello! My name is Ethan Rappeport, and I am currently a graduate student at San Francisco State studying English literature. I was born and raised a little over 3 hours north of the Bay Area in Redding, California, but the Bay has been my home for the past three years. I love spending time in the outdoors, reading books, watching movies, and playing video and tabletop games with my friends!
My journey towards teaching composition has not been a straight line; I started out at my local community college (Shasta College) exploring a variety of STEM related fields before finally returning to my original passion: reading and writing. I transferred to State in 2022 and earned my bachelor's degree in English Literature in 2024. I am continuing those studies at the graduate level, but I took a minor (and highly rewarding) detour and received a teaching credential for composition just this past spring. I am so excited to be teaching at State this fall, and I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know all of my students!
