I work with hard-of-hearing and deaf children as a teacher and audiologist. I adore my own two elementary-aged girls and my partner-in-crime, knezdad. I earned a M.S. in the early '90s and now I'm starting a PhD program in January, 2007. I still work full-time and also adjunct at a college (different from my PhD university). I'm very lucky to have the opportunity to return to grad school and have the support of my family.
