Growing up in a small rural town in Manitoba, my journey with reading began early and with little effort on my part. This was not true for a handful of my classmates – I can still name them today – who struggled throughout our entire school careers. Witnessing friends navigate challenges in school sparked a passion for helping minds grow. I set out in University to become an SLP. More on that

Reading doesn't only open doors to a world of knowledge, but also cultivates a love for digging deep and truly understanding. Lately our favourite topics include: cognitive load theory, delving further into the intricacies of dyslexia and DLD, executive function, and instructional practices that provide the most “bang for your buck”. Our love for knowledge continues to grow alongside our clients, as we work together to make change across educational systems.
