I am a professional American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter with more than 11 years of experience working in educational settings. I currently serve as the staff interpreter at the Scranton School for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children, where I provide interpreting services for students, families, faculty, and administrators. In addition to interpreting, I coordinate interpreter requests, teach ASL classes to parents of Deaf and Hard of Hearing students, and train school staff to achieve the ASL proficiency required for their positions. My work has given me extensive experience teaching both beginners and adults in a supportive, encouraging environment.
My approach to tutoring is practical, personalized, and focused on building confidence through real-life communication. Whether you are a student taking ASL in school, a parent learning to communicate with your child, a professional who wants to use ASL in the workplace, or someone learning for personal enrichment, I tailor each lesson to your goals and learning style. I believe students learn best through interactive conversation, visual learning, repetition, and hands-on practice that develops both language skills and an understanding of Deaf culture. I strive to create a welcoming environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, practicing, and making steady progress toward fluency.
