Experience Summary
I have been teaching ASL (in colleges and high schools), teaching History and Reading courses to Deaf teenagers in ASL, and interpreting between American Sign Language and spoken English professionally for nearly 25 years! I am currently the only hearing teacher in my department. I spend a larger percentage of my day "speaking" ASL than English! I ADORE ASL, Deaf Culture, interpreting, etc. and I have an absolute passion for teaching!
Teaching Style
We do a lot of hands on activities. The best way to learn a language is to actually USE that language in conversations! (My undergraduate degree was in Special Education. I believe if a student experiences success and enjoyment in an area of study, they will thrive there! I aim to make my classes meaningful and *fun*!)
My Hobbies
My hobbies include travel, Crossfit, and anything my 9 year-old son is doing!
