Occupation: Teaching Assistant/Graduate Student

E-mail: SilentSig22@yahoo.com

Achievements so far: Graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science & Engineering from University of California, Davis. The greatest achievements I have made are those that are not tangible to the touch, but to the hearts and minds of my d/hh students. By presenting myself as a positive role model each day in the class, I feel I am making an impression that will last a lifetime with these young deaf boys and girls.

Future Aims & Goals: To get both M.A. in Deaf Education and Teaching Credential from CSUN or Gallaudet before becoming Teacher of the Deaf. Moreover, leading a balanced, happy life is also important to me.

Your Advice to the Deaf Community: All learning begins with the simple phrase, "I don't know".

And...if you believe in yourself and never say, "I can't do it," just because you are deaf, you can go as far as you want in life!

Shout Out/Comment/Favorite Quote: My family and friends (especially those who made me register for deafmodels.com) RULES!
