From the LD class to building a business on my own terms
In 7th grade, I was placed into an LD class. By 9th grade, I had dropped out of high school. For years I relied on word-association reading — piecing meaning together one fragment at a time — because the traditional system wasn't built for the way my mind works.
Everything changed when I discovered modern assistive tools. Text-to-speech, audiobooks, and scanning pens gave me back the words I'd been locked out of. And entrepreneurship gave me a place where neurodivergent thinking wasn't a deficit — it was the advantage.
I built HelpInYou to share the exact tools and workflows that helped me move from surviving to thriving. You don't have to do it the way everyone else does.
