“Through tutoring in my local community, I’ve seen firsthand how many children start school already behind in reading. I believe the best way to support their long-term success is by giving them a head start beginning at home, with access to books from birth. First you learn to read, then you read to learn. I am committed to helping bring the Imagination Library to Orange County because I believe this program can make a real difference. By teaming up with the Imagination Library and POOF, I want to help families build strong early literacy habits and ensure every child can have the opportunity to enter kindergarten ready to learn and thrive.”
