Although she isn’t deaf, she has built a strong community of deaf people who love to come into class and interact with her students. ASL students get the most hands-on learning experience, and she encourages learners to attend ASL social events to strengthen their skills and connections. She goes above and beyond to make a seamless learning environment and takes time out of her day to give her students opportunities to succeed. She teaches all four levels of ASL, and helps students on the path to earn a seal of biliteracy at graduation.
