Mission Learning Center's Staff

Alexis Filippini, Executive Director
E-mail: alexis@mlcsf.org
Alexis began her collaboration with MLC by serving on the MLC advisory board while she was an assistant professor in the special education department at San Francisco State University. Dr. Filippini’s interests in reading and reading difficulties grew out of her experience on the federally funded Proyecto La Patera at UC Santa Barbara, where she earned her Ph.D. in Special Education, Disabilities & Risk Studies with an emphasis in cognitive science. For several years, she provided direct early literacy instruction and support services to Spanish speaking students and their families, in addition to leading research and evaluation teams. Alexis also worked as a behavioral therapist for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other disabilities. In her many home visits in southern California, she developed a strong connection to Latino/a culture that drew her to the Mission district when she moved to San Francisco. Every day on her short bike ride to MLC, she is delighted to be part of a historic organization in this vibrant and warm community.
