I am a Cum Laude 2017 graduate from Hudson High School. I am now a senior at Kent State University studying Deaf Education. My interest and passion for this field began when my sister lost her hearing and I started to learn American Sign Language. When I entered high school I had the opportunity to continue learning the language, and I knew that this was the field I was meant to be in. Throughout my years at Kent State University I have been on the President's and Deans list. I am involved in a variety of organizations on campus including the American Sign Language club at KSU, Deaf Culture, KSEA (Kent Student Education Association), and CEC (Counsel for Exceptional Children). I will be graduating shortly in spring of 2021 and plan to stay involved in the Deaf community and pursue a career in this field. My interests include staying involved in the Deaf community, reading, hiking, and spending time with my family and six year old Golden Retriever.
