I am an Orton-Gillingham certified speech-language pathologist who is passionate about helping learners build strong foundations in reading, spelling and language.

My path into literacy did not happen all at once. It grew naturally through more than 10 years of volunteering with children in community settings. From the Children's Aid Society and Big Brothers Big Sisters to the North End Library, I was always drawn to connecting with children through books, stories, language and plenty of laughter. Being involved in my community remains important to me, and I continue to volunteer each week as a literacy tutor.

As I entered the field of speech-language pathology, I found myself increasingly drawn to the connection between speech, language and literacy. When I completed my Orton-Gillingham certification, it felt like the missing piece. It brought together so many of my interests that shaped my path and confirmed my passion for helping learners develop confidence through literacy and language.
