About Me

A picture of myself (dark brown mid length-long hair and eyes) looking in the mirror.

I am currently in my fourth year as a student at Carleton University. I am majoring in Journalism with a minor in Human Rights. I am filling my elective credits with American Sign Language classes.

I have wanted to learn ASL for as long as I can remember and learning it has been so much more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. Not only learning how to communicate with those who use ASL but also learning about the history and culture of ASL and the Deaf Community.

I am looking forward to continuing my education in ASL.

This is a little background about me and why I have created this blog.

Hello reader,

The purpose of this blog is to help people learn or teach themselves American Sign Language (ASL). I created this blog because my family has been trying to get me to teach them ASL for many years and I found this challenging since we do not live in the same city. I have been an ASL teacher for almost 5 years and I have also trained as a librarian. I don’t want to reinvent the wheel as there are many great resources out there. This blog hopes to point people towards helpful resources to get started or continue along their ASL journey themselves.

PS: I strongly recommend participating in a physical classroom and/or socializing with your local Deaf community for best results.
