Bio:   My name is Kori Lyn Roy, kroy@hcs.la. I got my bachelor's degree from CSU Channel Islands in 2022. I am a substitute teacher, safety inspector, teacher’s assistant, and help with any project. I’ve worked at Heritage for 3 years and at my church’s children’s ministry before that for 5 years. I came and have stayed at Heritage because I agree with their goals and mindsets to educate children through the love of Jesus. I love the creativity and spirit of children and have cared for them in many different capacities since I was 12. I love to substitute teach in order to help the teachers keep on top of their students' education when they are away, and so that I can get to know all of the students here at Heritage as I participate class to class. I was born November, 2000 and was married in February, 2023 to my best friend. We own our dog, Zenana, and live in Wood Ranch Simi Valley. I’m a self motivated person who loves to stay healthy, organized, and productive, but do all this so I can enjoy all the fun things I plan with family and friends. I love adventures and board games. The Lord is my whole life and I seek to grow and pursue Him more every day. "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11

Bio:   I began my training with NILD in 2010, while teaching Kindergarten at Trinity Oaks Christian Academy in Cary, IL and completed Levels 1 and 2, as well as SEARCH & TEACH, Rx for Reading, and WJIII. After a move to Aurora, IL in 2013, I worked as an independent ET at Aurora Christian School, and began working as a Family Teacher at Mooseheart Child City and School. Meanwhile, I continued my training, completing Level 3 in 2016. During the pandemic in 2020 - 21 I was trained in teletherapy so that I could continue to meet with my students. In 2022 I accepted a position at Calvary Christian School in Naperville, IL, where I was the school librarian and reading interventionist. I received training in the new Gray Matter materials, bringing up-to-date reading help to my students. While at Calvary, I worked with over 30 students from Kindergarten through 8th grade, and saw lots of improvement in the two years I was there! Currently I am beginning my own practice, Complete Learning Development, and am excited to continue my growth as an independent Educational Therapist!

Bio:   My name is Debbie Engle and I have a heart for children who struggle to learn. I have a degree in Special Education Physical Disabilities and have worked with children with a variety of special needs. I was thrilled to learn about NILD educational therapy and have enjoyed watching my students learn and grow in their confidence through therapy. I had a homeschool for four students at Eagle's Wings Academy, where I provided therapy alongside a full curriculum five days a week. I currently work 1:1 with students in my home in Greenfield, WI or online for students too far away to come to my home. My deepest desire is to be used by God to encourage and give hope to children who are differently abled.
