Educational Consultant & Certified Handwriting Specialist

""As a mom to a child with dyslexia and dysgraphia, I’ve lived the homework meltdowns, the “I hate writing!” tears, and the panic of watching my bright kid slip through the cracks. That’s why my team of 8+ rockstar handwriting tutors and I are on a mission: to turn “I can’t” into “I DID IT!” for every child through 1:1 tutoring, teacher trainings and other support for educators.
​
When I’m not geeking out over pencil grips or plotting new ways to make writing fun, I’m wrangling a middle-schooler, 2 high-energy dogs, 1 cat, an entrepreneur hubby, and a calendar packed with pickleball, tennis, book club, and lunch dates with my small group of close friends."
