I am a San Francisco native raised mostly in San Mateo. I received my B.A. degree in Liberal Studies and Special Education Teaching Credential (K- 12 and adults through age 22) from San Francisco State University. I have volunteered with Special Needs students in under-performing schools in Oakland and I was part of a team of researchers from a university study focused on identifying English Language Learners with learning differences. Additionally, I was a teacher trainer throughout various schools in the Bay Area training elementary teachers in a specific reading intervention program. I began at All Saints in 2012 after being a stay-at-home mom for 15 years. My son attended St. Theresa and St. Mary’s College High School. Currently I am working towards my masters degree in Special Education at SFSU. I love helping my students reach their full potential and working together with our teachers and families to achieve that goal.
