I have taught in the field of Special Education for 20 years, this being my 12th year at Hillview as a reading acceleration teacher and case manager.  Originally from Pennsylvania, where my credential was issued, I'm a longtime resident of San Francisco.  My favorite thing to do outside of school is competitive pool/ billiards and I captain a team that advanced to a national tournament in 2012.  For Hillview mini-courses every spring, I teach students the fundamentals of pool, ping-pong and pinball.  The kids are naturals!
