In this inspiring episode, we chat with Michele, Head of School and Founder of Gateway Academy in Houston, Texas. With her background as a Speech-Language Pathologist, Michele reflects on her career journey and the pivotal moments that led her to establish a private school here in Texas.
After recognizing a significant need for students with learning differences, she embarked on a mission to support those facing unique challenges as they transition into adulthood and opened the doors to Gateway Academy in 2006.
Michele’s mission is to foster an inclusive environment that empowers students as they learn and transition into adulthood, equipping them with the skills and confidence necessary to thrive.
