I have hearing loss from nerve damage and I have worn hearing aids since kindergarten. I received speech services during elementary school but I don't consider my hearing to be a disability, but something that is simply apart of me. These are the hearing aids that I have, but mine are flesh toned to match my hair so that they're harder to see if my hair is down.

I was born on November 23, 1993 and I am currently 25 years old. I was brought home from the hospital on Thanksgiving day, and it is still my favorite holiday! My youngest niece was also born on my birthday, and is still my favorite birthday present!

I am Roman Catholic and currently am a member of Saint Catherine Laboure Church in Harrisburg. I also went to preschool and elementary school here,  and I will be getting married in 2019 in this church. The picture below is from Lourdes, France at the Grotto when I was able to go on a pilgrimage with the Pope for World Youth Day in 2011.
