Ms. Nicole - As a hard-of-hearing individual and teacher, I love sharing the language that I have been learning and growing my knowledge on for the 20 years. For American Sign Language I had been taught the language by my mom (Ms. Annmarie), Deaf individuals, and taken multiple classes at the High School and University Levels.
During my time in University, I studied Communication Studies and Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts along with minoring in a bunch of different things to make me a well-rounded educator and peer to all learners.
