I am a native Cincinnatian who has dedicated most of my career to working and advocating for and with people with disabilities. I was born deaf, but I use hearing aids and lip reading to communicate. I really enjoy helping people, and I love to teach sign language or about deafness and hearing loss. I am excited to be able to work in the new Clifton Cultural Arts Center!
