Meet our Florida Board – Main HQ
Founder of D.E.A.F. The organization was founded in January 2013. Retired Educator for the NYC DOE. The organization was founded for the purpose of fighting on the behalf of the Deaf Community for equal access advocacy rights. Open Caption access should be the same for all movie patrons, no matter what your disability is. I enjoy attending open caption movies and seeing members of the Deaf Community enjoying this too.
I live in Virginia and work for Department of Defense. I have a BS degree in Business Management from George Mason University and got my MBA from Webster University. I look forward to seeing D.E.A.F foundation grow strong roots in the state of Florida as it supports the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community along with its much valued alliances.
As a trilingual sign language interpreter with 5+ years of experience, I am passionate about my job, hard working and extremely ethical. I am caring and motivated to improve my skills and my understanding of Deaf culture on daily basis. As a person, I am a litina woman who has principles and integrity and a lot of sensitivity for other's needs with very minimal tolerance to injustices.
