Krista Michak
Co-Director
Krista joined Lori as Co-Director to form the other half of the dynamic due in 2019, where she has found fulfillment in helping the children in the community. She has completed the Initial, Advanced, and Supervisor training and is working on completing additional training through the Center. Before coming to the Center, Krista was an attorney and stay at home mom. When one of her children was diagnosed as being dyslexic, she decided to take action to help others. She found the Center and enrolled to become a tutor. From this step forward she has never looked back. Krista is the mother to 4 energetic girls who keep her busy.
