About Me

I am a mother navigating a beautifully chaotic life, a dyslexia advocate, and an administrative assistant at the Illuminations Center for Dyslexia. While I am not a therapist or clinician, my role places me at the heart of our work—supporting families, coordinating book drives, organizing local events, and hosting outreach booths that connect parents to resources and hope.

My journey into dyslexia advocacy began at home. As a mom raising children with dyslexia, I experienced firsthand the frustration, fear, and uncertainty that so many families face. Sitting beside my children during homework, searching for answers, and learning to advocate for their needs reshaped my understanding of literacy and learning differences.

Through my work, I help bridge the gap between families and services—answering questions, guiding parents to next steps, coordinating community partnerships, and helping ensure resources reach the children who need them most. I may not provide therapy, but I am deeply committed to awareness, access, and support.

I share my story to remind parents that dyslexia does not define their child’s potential and that help exists. My goal is to create connection, build community, and make sure families know they are seen, heard, and not alone.

About the Blog

This blog is a space where real life meets real advocacy. It captures the everyday moments of motherhood—messy, emotional, joyful, and overwhelming—alongside the deeper work of advocating for children with dyslexia.

Here, I write about the realities parents don’t always say out loud: the homework battles, the tears, the small victories, and the long road toward understanding how our children learn best. I also share educational insight from my work in the dyslexia field, offering practical guidance, encouragement, and awareness rooted in our experience.

This blog exists to remind parents that their child is capable, that dyslexia is not a limitation, and that support truly changes lives. Most of all, it is a reminder that you are not alone—and that with the right tools, community, and advocacy, your child can thrive.
