Bio/CV: 

Hello!

I’m Jason. I’m originally from Pacifica (yes, the place with Taco Bell on the beach), and I have been working in education since high school. I started by tutoring peers in academic and social skills. When I graduated, I went to San Francisco State University and received my B.A. in Creative Writing. Once out of undergrad, I started working as a paraprofessional and substitute teacher for Special Education classes in the high school setting in the Bay Area. I received my Master’s in Special Education and Teaching Credential from Notre Dame de Namur University. From there I taught High School and Adult transition for several years throughout the Bay Area before transitioning to my role here at the DSP.

I have a passion for accessibility in technology due to the ever growing nature of our digital and tech based society and world. My deepest passion for accessibility outside of education is in games. I have a core belief that every adult deserves to play, have fun, and enjoy the escapism of that experience. 

In my spare time, I’m cooking, playing games, watching anime, and doing olympic weightlifting.
