I'm a risk-taker at heart and thrive when challenged. I'm an activist for deaf and hard of hearing citizens and believe in making a difference in the world and in people lives. I'm a carefree spirit which becomes easily bored when the lack of adventure is not present and I always stand tall and proud for what I believe, even if I'm the only one standing. My goals are helping to improve the quality of life for others, financial freedom, and giving back to communities. Based on the needs/experiences with my own daughter, I help families with challenged children open avenues to communication, language, learning and living through visual and written communication strategies. I also create curriculum and talking workbooks in PowerPoint for special education teachers which help students to have equal access to curriculum and state standards.
