I had the pleasure of being a guest on the De Facto Leaders podcast, and the episode is out now!

In the interview we discussed:

- What it’s like to be a struggling reader (we both share our lived experiences).

- How to discover your niche as a clinician.

- Why evidence-based reading instruction is not just another trend.

- How the Science of Reading has evolved.

- Reading as a basic human right: It’s impact on access to higher education and career opportunities.

- Finding your people and uncovering your version of clinical leadership.

You can also read the blog Advocating for the Right to Read and Becoming a Literacy Leader.

I am so passionate about literacy, and I loved having the opportunity to share my knowledge with others! I hope you listen to the podcast episode and learn something new about literacy.
