After three years at Mount Holyoke College in Western Massachusetts, I graduated with a BA in Critical Social Thought and a minor in English. Had a wonderful time on the East coast but moved back home for a year to help out and be a primary care-giver. I also got a chance to hang out on campus with my brother Nick, a recent Cate graduate now at CU Boulder, during his senior year, and worked part-time as the Library Assistant--Pepe's old job!
While there, I obviously spent most of my time in the library, but also volunteered teaching several American Sign Language classes to a lively group of motivated students, and a held a few poetry workshops as well. I must say that it was a bit strange being "on the other side of things" at first, I'm sure Danny can attest to this, but it was a wonderful experience overall! The rest of my time I spent taking classes as a part-time student--can't live without some school--and selling my family produce at the Farmer's Markets.
I'm now living in DC, completely immersed in American Sign Language, Deaf community, academic life, not to mention an amazing city, for my two-year MA program in Deaf Studies with an emphasis in Cultural Studies at Gallaudet University. It's great! I've been hearing little snippets of what people are up to and can't wait see you all back on the mesa again!!!
