BIO
Personal Profile
I consider myself fortunate to have been diagnosed with dyslexia early in life because it taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. I didn’t always see the advantage of having dyslexia when it came to juggling long nights of homework with early morning football, or feeling like an outcast in class and having no summers off from school work but if it wasn’t for these challenges I wouldn’t have seen “my edge”. My dyslexic edge allows me to think differently to see the big picture which gives me the ability to find alternative and creative ways to figure things out.
