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.

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.
My own education history
30 years in nonprofit fundraising and now education. Currently working directly with upper elementary intervention students in the Mid-Ohio Valley region. Trained in Science of Reading methodology and structured literacy approaches including UFLI.
