Exciting projects coming up this spring!

I’m honored to be an Emcee for the Northeastern University’s ASL Festival in March, and I will be co-presenting “Letting go of form: An experience with International Sign” along with Bill Moody. More details to come.

I also have been invited to be a presenter along with Byron Bridges for Aspen Camp’s ASL Boot Camp, in April!

I am currently teaching Advanced ASL II at LaGuardia Community College for 10 weeks. It’s going well and I enjoy working with the students who wanted to fine tune their ASL skills and analyze the language on a deeper level.

Stay Tuned!
