I went to SJSC for one year and transferred to SFSC and graduated with a B.A. in Biology. I got my Life Credential and taught one year at Mercy Burlingame and then got a position in San Francisco Unified District. I taught at Polytechnic High School, and I retired from Lowell High School in 2004. I have lived in San Francisco most of my life except for the brief interim at Jordan, Wilbur and Palo Alto High School.
