With over fifteen years of experience advancing adolescent literacy, I’m driven by a simple belief:  literacy opens doors — to opportunity, confidence, empowerment, and connection.

My work has always centered on building cultures of reading — spaces where curiosity is nurtured, critical thinking is strengthened, and students see themselves as capable, growing readers and writers. As a certified Reading Specialist and literacy leader, I’ve partnered with teachers, administrators, families, and community organizations to strengthen instructional practices and design systems that help every student access and enjoy the power of reading.

At Bloom Literacy Co., I bring that same systems-level expertise into personalized, student-centered support. My work is grounded in evidence-based literacy research and equity-driven practice, ensuring that students receive instruction that is structured, explicit, and responsive to their individual needs.

I am especially passionate about supporting adolescent readers — students who may have fallen behind, lost confidence, or never quite found their reading identity. I believe every student deserves both the skills and the joy that literacy makes possible.
