When I learned to sign and speak at the same time, the whole world opened up to me. That's the beauty of encouraging kids who are deaf to use whatever it takes to communicate.

I'm committed to fulfilling my promises to my people, including my pledge to engage in constructive interaction with the world.

I'm a worker. I do the work to communicate, and I want people to embrace it, and when they do I'm happy.

I grew up in a physical world, and I speak English. The next generation is growing up in a digital world, and they speak social.

I learned American Sign Language in college and seemed to pick it up rather quickly. I really love to sign and wish that I had more friends to sign with.

I now talk to different cultures, and I hope that I can bridge those gaps and differences between us. It's an adventure, a dream... I feel like I'm on an anthropological mission.

Although I'm not fluent in sign language by a long way, I could have a fairly decent conversation.

I believe in collaboration, which is why I work with others to make positive contributions of consequence, and why I have made a very clear and unwavering commitment to remain absolutely apolitical.

I have travelled all over the world and one thing that amazes me is that I can communicate with people. My story may be different but emotionally we are all the same.

I try to be authentically who I am.
