I have a communicative level of ASL having been exposed to the language from the age of two. For the past three years, I have been teaching ASL to 6-12-year-olds at a homeschool co-op. I continue with my involvement in the deaf community by regularly attending deaf meetups and attending church services with live ASL interpreting.

I will include videos in which I will show and utilize Dr. Bill Vicars (creator of the infamous Lifeprint.com, his online ASL university) to challenge students to put their knowledge of fingerspelling into practice.
