Summary

I am a first-year student at Gallaudet University, and I am deeply committed to promoting inclusive education. During my senior year in high school, I worked as a first-grade teacher's assistant and introduced American Sign Language to support a deaf student in the classroom. This experience inspired me to pursue a career in teaching. I am looking for opportunities to further develop my skills and knowledge in this field, and I am particularly interested in creating engaging and accessible learning environments for all students.
