I am originally from Maine, which is a smaller version of WA state. :) I love both places dearly. I am Deaf, my husband is Deaf, and I am a step-mom to two wonderful CODAs, and step-grandma to a lively 6 year old! We all use ASL in our daily lives. I was inspired to teach by my mother who was a Professor of Biology at a college in Maine.
