Deaf Ninja 1: Origin

Welcome to my class


For those of you returning to my class, I am looking forward to seeing you again. For those of you who may not know me, let me introduce myself.

This is my fifth year at Provo High. I teach American Sign Language and Arabic. I have been a professional interpreter between ASL and English for five and a half years. I love learning and speaking languages. Besides ASL and Arabic, I can speak Mandarin and have dabbled in several other languages such as Japanese, Spanish, and Hebrew. I have a masters degree in International Law and World Order from the University of Reading in Britain and thoroughly enjoy learning new things about people and places. I am excited to get started on this adventure with you.


My favorite cartoon character is Jane from the Disney movie Tarzan because she loves learning new things, adventures, and teaching a new language (to Tarzan). When you get to class, take a look around to see if you can find my monkeys. (Remember, they are the ones who stole my boots in the movie.)
