What do you love most about Potrero?

The people, the sense of community and, of course, the weather...oh and The Good Life!

About Me:

In addition to working and raising twin boys, I'm a founding member of the The Potrero Residents Education Fund - 7 volunteer moms who came together in the wake of the threatened closure of Daniel Webster Elementary in 2005. Our mission is to support Potrero Hill pubic schools. In addition to helping engineer a turnaround at DW, we established and run Potrero Kids at Daniel Webster, a private, affordable Spanish bi-lingual preschool.
