Hi there. Hoping someone will post soon. :) I have another question. I am submitting a video of myself voicing and signing to an agency to see if I am skilled enough to work. She told me after viewing my videos she would tell me if I could work staff or freelance. I understand the basic...

Since I've started teaching I've had a handful of students decide to go into interpreting. We've also impacted the entire community by working with the few deaf kids at the elementary schools and putting on a sign language concert. Families with deaf kids who didn't even know sign language was...

I started a sign language website for my students with the desire that we would have the capability for them to connect with and chat with the Deaf community since they have no one where we live to practice with. I am working on teaching videos and there are others doing the same but mostly we...
