Founder | KMA Educational Consulting Firm, LLC
Doctorate in Reading and Literacy · Master’s in Psychology, Specialization in Applied Behavior Analysis · 23 Years in Education
My journey from struggling reader to literacy advocate is the foundation of my purpose. As a child with dyslexia, I experienced the frustration of difficulties with phonological processing, recognizing sounds, decoding words, and reading fluently. Through determination, repeated practice, and educators who refused to give up on me, I learned that my challenges did not define my potential.
Today, I hold a doctorate in Reading and Literacy—an achievement that reflects both my perseverance and the lasting impact of educators who believed in me.
With 23 years of experience in alternative education, I serve as an Academic Dean of Students within Anne Arundel County Public Schools. My experience includes working as an Alternative Education Teacher, Crisis Interventionist, Behavioral Specialist, and Home and Hospital Teacher, supporting students with diverse academic, emotional, and behavioral needs.
I founded KMA Educational Consulting Firm, LLC out of gratitude and a commitment to give back. My goal is to offer learners and families the compassion, patience, individualized support, and encouragement that changed my own life—especially when reading difficulties, learning disabilities, or other barriers make success feel out of reach.
“I am not simply giving back to education. I am honoring the educators who never gave up on me by becoming that same source of hope for someone else.”
Dr. Kenya Albert
