Meet Our Founder
As a UC Berkeley-trained corporate lawyer, I learned to find the root cause, build a clear plan and track what actually works.
My team and I bring the same approach to literacy development: we pinpoint the skill gaps, teach them explicitly and measure progress, so kids and teens can reach their full potential in months, not years.
