Education:

  • MS in Multidisciplinary Studies from Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY; both Graphic Design and Teaching.
  • Teacher of the Deaf for K-12 grades for 12 years in Maine.
  • Currently teaching American Sign Language at Edmonds College, going on 3rd year.

I am originally from Maine, which is a smaller version of WA state. :) I love both places dearly. I am Deaf, my husband is Deaf, and I am a step-mom to two wonderful CODAs, and step-grandma to a lively 6 year old! We all use ASL in our daily lives. I was inspired to teach by my mother who was a Professor of Biology at a college in Maine.
