I am 22 years old, a teacher in Arizona working in an elementary classroom as a special educator. I was born profoundly deaf and at the age of 13 months I was implanted with a cochlear implant in my right ear, then my left ear at 6 years old. My deaf journey has been full of adventure and never lacks a dull moment! I am passionate about sharing my journey with others to help them through their own. Over the years I have learned so much about being deaf, everything from how to educate others on what my cochlear implants are to finding my place as a deaf person in the hearing world and discovering my complex deaf identity. There is no one way of being deaf in the hearing world, we all have our own experiences which are unique to us. It's my goal that through this website and through my blog, I can share my own experiences to educate my hearing peers and to connect with my cochlear implant and deaf community.
