I have been teaching the beautiful language of American Sign Language (ASL) for over 20 years at many venues. I have taught at a public high school and a private middle school and high school. I also have taught at a teen center, recreation and park centers-ages 6 months (baby and me)--to adults, afterschool/in-school programs at public and private schools for ages preschool to 6th grade. I also have taught adults through an adult education program. I have taught many homeschoolers, as well, privately and in groups. I have taught using Zoom and I am very familiar with its functions.

I worked for GLAD (Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness) as a job counselor, advocate and ASL interpreter for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals. 

I graduated with my BA from California State University, Northridge, which was a huge Deaf Studies and ASL program. I have 50 post graduate units in special education and world languages. I also got my Teaching Credential in Multiple Subjects from CSUN.

I started an ASL program at a private high school from the ground up and created the entire curriculum for ASL 1,2,3, getting all three approved by the University of California, A-G high school graduation requirements. ASL is not English, and I will teach your children the proper way to sign in ASL, as well as teach about the rich and amazing Deaf culture, Deaf community and Deaf history. 

I will move at the pace of the students in my classes. I love teaching through games and activities to engage and enlighten my students. I am also a published author.
