Accomplishments
I have traveled to 23 countries alone. I learned a great deal about various cultures and customs of other countries. I also visited all 50 states in the United States. I successfully checked off most on my bucket list of places that I wished to visit.
I have lived in several different states: CA, Hawaii, AZ, Fla, Ala, SC, VA, DC, WA, and NY. I worked at several different schools as well. Those experiences has enriched my knowledge about the Educational system and various programs for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing students.
