My high school was integrated with a Deaf School program that exposed me to American Sign Language at an early age. After 2 years of informal language acquisition and 6 years of formal linguistic training in sign language and interpreting, I graduated from college with a Bachelor of Science in American Sign Language to English Interpreting. Along with that degree, I acquired a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with a minor in Education, and 2 years later received a Master of Arts in Mathematics Education. Upon completion of my Bachelor in ASL Interpreting, I worked as a professional interpreter in many different settings -- including, but not limited to, educational, medical, community-based, and virtual -- for 5 years. Now I'm excited to take my passion for sign language and Deaf inclusivity, and share it with the next generation!
