I have been an Educational Interpreter for the Deaf in the Wenatchee Valley area since 1991. I received my training at Spokane Falls Community College and Western Oregon State College. My goal is that, during this class, you will not only learn a language full of beauty and diversity, but also come to understand its history and the richness of the culture of those who call American Sign Language their own.
