Favorite thing about LCCS: Interacting with the quality of students in my class and their desire to learn ASL.

Favorite Scripture: Colossians 2:7

Throughout my life, God has placed me in many different situations that have helped prepare me for the position of American Sign Language teacher. My training began early as I was born into a deaf family. Growing up in this way has made me especially knowledgeable and sensitive to the deaf community. My upbringing in a deaf family, in addition to a strong calling by the Lord, led me to pursue a degree in special education. I was able to work at the Michigan School for the Deaf and further develop ASL skills that would go on to benefit the students here at LCCS.

My prayer is that our ASL students use their love for God and ASL, to share the gospel to the 98% of the deaf population that hasn’t heard the gospel, and win them to God’s kingdom.
