Bio:   After 50 years of ministry with college students on various campuses across the U.S., I was not ready to re-“tire”, but rather to re-“fire” for the next season to which God would lead me. My daughter-in-law, who has been an NILD Educational Therapist for several years, suggested I investigate her profession. She felt I had the qualities and gifts that would excel at helping students with Special Learning Differences. Knowing her success stories, researching NILD, and completing the Level 1 training convinced me she was right. I sensed God's calling to invest the rest of my life into helping young students develop the skills of how to learn and not just what to learn. I am only accepting boys as clients and am committed to their success both in the classroom and in life.
