After witnessing the tremendous growth of emerging spellers, Marjorie Billeter recognized the power of neuroplasticity and knew she wanted to be a part of this transformational experience. Marjorie is a certified S2C Practitioner who loves working with nonspeakers of all ages and helping them find their voice through spelling. She is currently a high school human anatomy and physiology teacher and also serves as the advisor for the Community Service, HOSA-Future Health Professionals, and Neuroscience Clubs. In her elusive spare time, she enjoys hiking, meeting new people, and listening to their stories.

Mike is a certified S2C Practitioner whose mind is set on helping as many nonspeakers communicate through spelling as he can, even if that means working 10+ hours a day! He became a full-time spelling practitioner after supporting nonspeakers of all ages in schools for 8 years. Mike came across S2C in 2023 and immediately knew what his next steps in life were - to become a practitioner! When he isn’t at the office, he enjoys kayaking with a mountain view, eating a delicious meal, or running around with his dog, Loki! I can not wait to get to know YOU through spelling to communicate!
