Greetings,👋🏽
I'm Jacqueline, affectionately known as Mrs. Jae by my students. Guiding individuals through the realms of ASL is a passion close to my heart. My aspiration is to introduce students to the captivating beauty of American Sign Language and foster a deeper connection to Deaf Culture. Join me in exploring ASL, Deaf Culture, Deaf History, and more, as we embark on a journey of learning and growth.
My purpose is to empower and inspire every student to embrace this captivating language and culture. My ultimate goal? Bridging communication gaps, nurturing confidence, and encouraging meaningful connections within the Deaf community.
My journey in ASL and Deaf Culture has spanned numerous years of continuous dedicated study. I embarked on this path during my high school years. Through my educational journey, I earned a bachelor's degree in Human Services with a minor in Interpreting American Sign Language, and an associates degree in American Sign Language Interpreter Training. My qualifications extend to two certifications; Deaf and Hard of Hearing Education, and ASL Communication Skills.
My connection to the Deaf community remains robust, with ongoing engagement. I've had the privilege to teach American Sign Language in vocational schools and nonprofit organizations. My commitment extends beyond the classroom, as I actively volunteer to raise awareness about Deaf Culture, and ASL.
Here's a glimpse of my annual class sequence, carefully crafted to guide your progress:
1. Welcome to the World of ASL! American Sign Language for Beginners (ASL Part 1): Embark on your ASL journey with fundamental language skills and cultural insights.
2. Grammar in 3D: Beginners ASL Grammar & Sentence Structure (ASL Part 2): Dive deeper into ASL's intricate grammar and sentence construction.

5. Hands-On ASL: Intermediate American Sign Language (ASL Part 5): Further advance your proficiency and broaden your vocabulary.
Remember, learning a new language is not only an exercise for the brain, but also a gateway to expanded communication skills and new friendships. I'm excited to guide you on this remarkable journey of discovery and connection.Reviews
