I earned my B.A. in Special and Early Childhood Education from Mercer University and a Master’s in Education with a specialization in Inclusive Education and Reading. Over the past two decades, my professional journey has encompassed roles as an elementary classroom teacher, special education teacher, gifted education teacher, instructional coach, ESE Program Specialist, and international educational consultant. I currently serve on the board of the International Dyslexia Association–Florida Branch, where I advance the organization’s mission by supporting children and families with language-based learning differences and equipping educators with the knowledge and practices necessary to serve students with dyslexia effectively.
