I have been teaching K-12 for 13 years. Before that I tutored, taught ESL and college English at Gallaudet University in Washington DC for about 13 years. In this picture, I was a first year teacher at the New Mexico School for the Deaf. I now work at the Ohio School for the Deaf, teaching Technology and ASL, and I am also the technology integration specialist.

I have been deaf since I was 4 years old due to an illness. I grew up mainstreamed until I entered Gallaudet University as a freshman. I love ASL since it is 100% accessible for me. I also wear cochlear implants. I love having an "off button" when I want silence.
