Brief Biographical Sketch:

I'm Chloe (she/they), a first-year studying Media Studies and Social Welfare.

I began learning American Sign Language in high school, and grew more involved with the Deaf community until Covid. Once restrictions began to lift, I was able to gain more experience in the community through interpreters, speakers, and more! I have the California state seal of biliteracy, and I plan to get an interpreting certificate before I graduate.

ASL is an amazing tool to be able to communicate with, and opens your mind to new ways of thinking and communicating that many people don't think about.
