About Me

I am currently working with children with learning disabilities in the Worcester County, Massachusetts area. I would like to advocate on their behalf and on behalf of children with learning disabilities.

My interest in this topic stems from my own learning disabilities which were undiscovered for most of my life.

At age 58, after finally learning what my own problems were, I went to Springfield College and earned my bachelors degree with the help of a reader, and Dragon Naturally Speaking voice recognition software to help write my papers. I graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA. I made the junior varsity baseball team and played with kids 19 and 20 years old. During that time my story became national news and I became an inspiration for older people to go back to school and complete their education, and especially for children with learning disabilities, to never give up.
