Antonio Garza teaches English at San Antonio College where he teaches in the Ascender Program. In the past, he served as the coordinator of the Palo Alto College’s Writing Assistance Center – an experience which informed his M.A. thesis, The Writing Center as Borderland: Transitioning Latino Students of Color in the Academy and for which he received the NISOD Excellence Award.

He holds a B.A. in English from UT San Antonio and a M.A. in English from Texas A&M University – San Antonio. He was recently accepted into the MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Houston – Victoria and will pursue this endeavor soon.

He is a former member of Ballet San Antonio but rejoined the ballet company as a character artist in January 2022. He is also working on a memoir entitled Nutcracker Snow – thus, he is a dancer at heart and a lover of stories.
