My interest in Sign Language has always been genuine. I took my first Sign Language class in high school and ever since then I knew working with kids and integrating Sign Language was a dream of mine. I pursued my undergraduate studies at Bloomsburg University with professors that pushed me constantly to achieve my dream of becoming a Sign Language interpreter.
My studies at Bloomsburg University incorporated interpreting, teaching and Deaf education. I was taught to interpret ethically and was prepared by accomplished professors. I enrolled in classes that expanded my horizon in Deaf culture as well as classes in ethics. The interpreting ASL/English program at Bloomsburg was far from easy.

Now that I know I can incorporate teaching and the language I admire, I know what my true dream job is. With the fundamental studies I have learned at Bloomsburg University I know that I am prepared for the superb Master’s program for Teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
Thank you for considering my application. I’ve heard wonderful testimonies and hope I have the privilege to pursue my graduate studies at St. Joseph
