About the store
I spent 30 years in nonprofit work — raising money, telling stories, and solving problems for organizations that served people who needed a hand up. When I moved into education, I was shocked by what I found in upper elementary intervention: a 5th grader who can't decode multisyllabic words, handed a worksheet covered in cartoon animals designed for a 6-year-old.
I didn't have years of classroom habit telling me this was normal. I just saw it clearly, these kids needed real tools, not baby stuff. Structured Literacy Lab exists because of that fresh set of eyes.

Experience
I spent 30 years in nonprofit work — raising money, telling stories, and solving problems for organizations that served people who needed a hand up. When I moved into education, I was shocked by what I found in upper elementary intervention: a 5th grader who can't decode multisyllabic words, handed a worksheet covered in cartoon animals designed for a 6-year-old.
I didn't have years of classroom habit telling me this was normal. I just saw it clearly, these kids needed real tools, not baby stuff. Structured Literacy Lab exists because of that fresh set of eyes.
Teaching style
I came to education from 30 years in nonprofit leadership — which means I build materials the way I solved every other problem: find what's missing, make it clearly, test it with real kids, refine it. No filler. No fluff. Just what actually works in a real intervention setting.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My biggest teacher moment happens every time an older struggling reader starts attacking a long word with confidence instead of shutting down. That's what all of this is for. Watching a 6th grader use syllable strategies to decode a word they would have skipped six weeks earlier... that never gets old.
