My Story
Hey There, I’m Katie - also known as The Literacy Lady.
Wife, mama x3, teacher, reading specialist, literacy advocate, summer camp founder, curriculum writer, dream builder...
I believe that the only people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that actually do! And I believe education is the key to a better future.
Fueled daily by ALL. THE. COFFEE and JESUS, I’m working just like you to calm the chaos and build a LOVE of learning in my home.
Before the days of chasing dreams AND babies, I walked through seasons of infertility (here’s looking at you IVF x3), overwhelm in the classroom & as a mama & simply the search for more JOY, SIMPLICITY & IMPACT.
I LOVE sharing tips & tricks with educators & families to make LIFE EASIER… getting ALL kids LOVING LEARNING & being successful in school.
I’ve got an abundance of RESOURCES HERE TO SUPPORT YOU.
SIMPLIFIED LEARNING that works!
Being a parent is our greatest job & responsibility. And it’s a privilege.
It’s also exhausting. Let’s be real. Parents – I see you.
This FREE GUIDE will truly help you get routines in place that SPARK JOY & LEARNING in your home … making your life EASIER & bringing more CALM.
I’m also known for founding The Literacy Camp® – a SUPER FUN summer camp experience in Mid-Michigan that engages kids in a way parents AND kids LOVE. Over 1,000 families have been through The Literacy Camp in the Lansing Area. It’s magical.
If you’re interested in me visiting your school or your child’s school, I ADORE serving educators with high quality professional development, ongoing coaching, and family literacy nights that bring the whole village together.
My newest program for families: The Literacy Lounge is NOW OPEN! This is your place to find relief, encouragement, and the confidence to raise joyful readers without adding more chaos to your already full life.
Together, we can support children of all ages to LOVE learning & be successful. And in a way that makes life easier – not more complicated. I PROMISE.
Let’s change the world! And let’s start in our homes, educational programs & classrooms.
Still here? Let’s connect! Come join & say hi in my FB Group HERE. Or send me a DM on Insta.
My family is praying for you and cheering you on!

I’ve been a literacy advocate and educator in my community for over 18 years, and I’m proud to be a part of ensuring the greater community knows how fun reading and writing can be with these opportunities, recognized in the Media. When we make reading and writing FUN, its approachable and engaging…allowing us to make a greater IMPACT in our homes, classrooms, and communities.
