Born into the Deaf community

My journey into American Sign Language interpreting is deeply personal. As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), both of my biological parents are Deaf. My stepmother is DeafBlind, and one of my sisters is also Deaf, making me a SODA (Sibling of Deaf Adult). I was raised within the vibrant Deaf community, which has given me an intimate understanding of Deaf culture and its nuances. This upbringing ignited my passion to help bridge the gap for language access, ensuring that everyone has the right to clear and accessible communication.
