Believe. Achieve. Read—Guided by Science, Grounded in Compassion

I am an educator with a deep commitment to literacy and teacher preparation. After spending 15 years in Baltimore City Public Schools—six as a kindergarten teacher and nine as a reading interventionist—I transitioned into higher education in 2022. Now, as a professor of education at a Maryland community college, I work to equip future educators with the knowledge, skills, and compassion needed to support diverse learners, particularly in the area of reading development.

In 2024, I expanded my focus by beginning my journey as a dyslexia therapist, further deepening my understanding of reading challenges and how to address them through evidence-based practices. My work is grounded in the belief that every child deserves access to effective, inclusive literacy instruction—and that every teacher should feel empowered and prepared to make that possible.
