“My daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia in kindergarten after being tested by -. She had a lot of intervention and read as many books as she could get her hands on. She knew if students read 10 pages in 15 minutes, she would have to read as long as it took to read 20 pages.

She knew they read better and she was determined to catch up. She did catch up. She scored a 31 on her reading portion of the ACT, her math and science were higher and never an issue. 

She earned a presidential scholarship at Auburn. She retained it all four years. Every year she earned more scholarships and by her senior year she had earned an additional $7,000 in scholarships. 

She was a leader in every aspect of her college career. She taught in a flip classroom, tutored as a study buddy, and did research.

She also started an organization and was president the first two years. Auburn’s “Tooth Fairy” still goes strong today.

She helped create a program for pre-dental students to prepare for the DAT. She went on to dental school at UAB. She was in the top five applicants who were accepted and earned scholarships in dental school too. 

She was the American Student Dental Association president for the state of Alabama and is consistently a top producer in her practice. Her husband is a dentist in the Air Force. 

She graduated magna cum laude in chemistry from the honors college and at her dental school graduation, she was awarded more honors than any other student. One fourth of all awards given at her dental school graduation went to her.

You overcome dyslexia or it overcomes you. It’s a choice. 

She has ensured her next generation would not have her same struggles by working with her son everyday to learn his letters and sounds. He knows all his letters and sounds and can spell many words by sounding them out. He has been learning to read since he was 2 and a half years old.”
