My passion for educating, advocating, and bringing awareness to dyslexia at the domestic and international levels began in the elementary classrooms of private schools serving students with language-based learning disabilities.
I have been a certified Special Educator for over a decade, and I earned my Doctor of Education in Teaching, Learning, Leadership, & Curriculum from Northeastern University and holds a dual masters in Special Education and Elementary Education from Syracuse University and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Syracuse University.
My dedication to providing the gold standard of instruction to individuals with dyslexia led her to obtain her endorsement at the Associate level through The Orton-Gillingham Academy in 2014. I am currently working on course work and practicum at the Certified level. Eventually, I expanded my skill set in the public schools as a 7th and 8th grade math and English Language Arts (ELA) co-teacher before taking a position with a non-profit organization that advocates for inclusion in public schools for students with disabilities. I also worked as a middle school learning specialist, instructional coach, and served on the administrative team.
I am the CEO and founder of Think Dyslexia LLC and I have delivered training and professional development to teachers and administrators at the district level focusing on dyslexia awareness, dyslexia screening, and MTSS. I have worked with over 20 school districts at the national and international level leading educators and leaders to success. I reside in the suburbs of Maryland with my family. I am ready to support you and your family in this journey, book a free call I’d love to connect.
