Krista Gauthier is the Founder and Executive Director of Dyslexic Edge and Sliding Doors STEM & Dyslexia Learning Center, a non-profit based in the Washington DC area that provides reading intervention and STEM enrichment. Krista first conceived of Dyslexic Edge/Sliding Doors when, as a parent of a child with dyslexia, she noticed that the access she was able to provide her daughter in both remediation and STEM enrichment was denied to so many.
Krista has over 15 years experience in education, both as a teacher and as a researcher in educational theory and curriculum development. Before founding Dyslexic Edge in 2016, she gained valuable nonprofit experience as a development director at a DC private school. Krista has taken those two professional experiences and used them to build this one of a kind program while also creating awareness through yearly speaking engagements and events, teacher workshops, and published works. Krista lives with her husband, Dave, and two daughters in northern Virginia
