About Us
Rosedale Readers was founded with a clear and passionate mission:
​
To empower students with diverse learning needs and guide them toward discovering their fullest potential through engaging, personalized learning experiences.
​
We firmly believe that every student can achieve literacy success when equipped with the right tools and support. Our commitment is to reach as many learners as possible and give every child the opportunity to thrive, simply because every child deserves access to education that meets their unique needs.
​
​
At Rosedale Readers, our approach is designed to support students with gaps in reading, writing, and spelling, guiding them toward their full academic potential. Through a structured literacy framework, we use the Barton Reading & Spelling System to provide personalized instruction for students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and related learning differences.
​
We welcome families into a nurturing, supportive environment where each student’s journey is valued. Join us on this journey of discovery, growth, and the celebration of every unique learning style.
About the Founder
As an educator, my goal is to present varied, evidence-based learning approaches that foster independent thinking and support each student's unique needs. I strive to shift the perception of reading and spelling from a stressful task to an engaging and enjoyable journey.
​
Over the past 15 years, I’ve helped children close learning gaps by meeting them where they are developmentally. My focus has been on raising awareness about dyslexia while offering inclusive, non-judgmental support in language and literacy development.
Supporting children, teens, and adults has always been a passion of mine. For the past 9 years, I’ve dedicated myself to nurturing the growth of learners with diverse abilities. In the last 5 years, I’ve collaborated with families and resource consultants to focus more deeply on advanced learning differences in children.
​
What inspires me most are those small but powerful moments, when a child reads a road sign out loud for the first time, confidently reads a bedtime story to a sibling or enthusiastically stepping up as the school librarian. These milestones are the reason I’m so passionate about helping students reach their full literacy potential. I believe in them, and with the right tools and guidance, they begin to believe in themselves.
​
I am a trained educator in the Barton Reading & Spelling System and have spent the past 4 years supporting students, starting as young as age 5, who are diagnosed with or suspected of having dyslexia. I also hold an Early Childhood Education degree and a Resource Consultant certificate, specializing in children with diverse learning needs.
​
In my free time, you’ll find me cycling, reading, swimming, ice skating, practicing yoga, or hiking with my dog.
I look forward to meeting you and your family and supporting your child on their reading and spelling journey!
