My core values:

I believe every child is capable of learning to read with the right instruction. This conviction drives my work to equip teachers with research-based strategies that reach all students.

My favorite things:

When not immersed in literacy research, you’ll find me roller skating, sipping chai lattes, or organizing my thoughts with colorful Super Sticky Post-its and gel pens.

fun facts About Me:

As an Aquarius, I’m independent, innovative, and a little nerdy. I love to unwind with reruns of The Office and work under the careful supervision of my orange tabby cats, Enky and Zoe, who monitor all my course creation.

My Vision

Every teacher is prepared to
help every student learn how to read
