ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Alana, Co-Founder of KidsRead2Kids and Editor in Chief of KidsRead2Kids Magazine, is a creative writer (and playful learner!) at heart. As a child with Selective Mutism, she struggled to speak to anyone outside of her immediate family. Now, through her educational nonprofit, she hopes to use her voice to inspire and uplift those like her. A graduate of Oberlin College, Alana holds her BA in Creative Writing with a concentration in Education. As a Business Scholar and Writing Associate, she trained in cross-disciplinary teaching practices and created original curriculum and activities. She worked in the community through the Writers in the Schools (WITS) Program at Langston Middle School, and as a local performing arts teacher. Alana continued to write and publish, later working with SEEN Magazine, where she wrote five print and 30 online articles. She has dedicated the last few years to accessibility in education, by co-creating KidsRead2Kids Magazine, and speaking to international audiences for the benefit of underserved students, teachers, and parents.

Carol, Executive Director of KidsRead2Kids, is living proof that passion is key to success for those who learn differently. Growing up with undiagnosed dyslexia and ADHD, Carol often felt misunderstood by teachers and inferior to her classmates. But her mother believed in her, enrolling her in coding classes at Foothill College at 12. A spark was lit, leading her to earn an MBA and a BS in Economics, concentrating in Finance and Entrepreneurial Management from the Wharton School of Business, and a BS in Electrical and Systems Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science, where she was a Sharp Fellow and General Motors Scholar. Before joining KidsRead2Kids, she worked as an Associate Consultant for Bain & Company, a Senior Consultant for Booz Allen Hamilton, and an Adjunct Professor of Management for Northwood University. Carol was also the radio host of Entrepreneurial Life. As a mother of five children with learning differences, Carol has immersed herself in interactive ways to learn and grow. Through KidsRead2Kids, Carol hopes to help educate parents, librarians, and teachers across the globe with lessons in mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, and positive play. She takes the fun even further as a Genius of Play Ambassador!
