Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Eastern Kentucky University
I love ASL! It is my second language and I have been a part of the d/Deaf community for more than 20 years in various capacities such as: area coordinator for a d/Deaf teen ministry called Deaf Teen Quest, freelance interpreting for the deaf and hard-of-hearing,
but most of my interpreting was in the school system. Since moving from Kentucky to Florida 5 years ago, I have transitioned exclusively to teaching freelance ASL classes for middle and high school students (ASL levels 1-3) and tutoring students one-on-one. I've also had the opportunity to work with a hearing family who has a deaf toddler.
