State: Illinois

Occupation: Sophomore at Hinsdale South High School (in the Chicago suburbs)

E-mail: N/A

Achievements so far: I like to socialize a lot and to get involved with the deaf community. I was on the swim team last fall and was on the JR NAD deaf volleyball team. I'm planning to join Miss Deaf Teen America sometime next year! I've parctipicated in the play "The Week The World HEard Gallaudet" at HSHS in April. It was a big hit!

Future Aims & Goals: I plan to get involved with the movie business, but I'm not sure what field I want to be in yet. Maybe computer graphics (such as designing video covers), and I want to write screenplays and sell them to production companies. I also plan to move to a beach (more likely in Florida or the eastern coast) because I absolutely love to live on a beach! Ok I'll shut up and move on to the next question.

Your Advice to the Deaf Community: "Deaf people can do anything but hear." -I. King Jordan

"Don't worry about how you look like. Pretty soon people will find your inner beauty." (I invented that quote! haha)

DEAF POWER!
