I strongly believe in my mission to help everyone overcome dyslexia in their day to day lives.

Having shared my story with so many people, I’ve seen how inspiration and sincere direction can transform lives. Growing up with dyslexia, I’ve experienced adversity even at the highest levels of education, for myself, and everyone like me. Now is the time to break the mold of leaving children behind because they struggle to read and learn. With the right kind of diagnosis early on in life, we can save young students from what I went through.
