Experience Summary
I have always been interested in American Sign Language. I took classes in high school and passed them with A's. Soon after graduating I decided to go to Palomar College and took ASL 3 and 4 and fell in love with the language even more so. After taking the Awareness of Deaf Culture class , I decided to pursue the major. I am currently an interpreting student and recently finished my first year of the ASL/ English Interpreting Program. I will be in Interpreting 3 in the Fall semester of 2015.
Teaching Style
After accessing the student's level of the language, I will provide tutoring services to teach ASL vocabulary, grammar and non manual markers including facial expression and mouth morphemes of the language. I can also provide the knowledge of Deaf culture and other forms of sign systems that are often confused for American Sign Language. The lessens will pertain to the goal of the student.
My Hobbies
Other than attending Deaf social events, I enjoy numerous outdoor activities such as paddle boarding, hiking and camping. I'm also a fan of reading and art. I love animals.
Other Comments
I'm a patient person and a great listener. I work well with others and have always been open to diversity. I look forward to any requests for my service.
