Born deaf in Stratford, Ontario, she was educated at Gallaudet University and has taught in Minnesota, Maryland, Mississippi and Virginia. Her travels have included Morocco, Greece, Italy, Germany and China. She will talk about her traveling experiences from the viewpoint of being deaf with a special focus on her trip to China one year before the Olympics began and how her group survived with limited services of interpreters.
