I am an intern at the NYS Department of Health using MapInfo, Excel, and learning SQL and MapBasic to help do my job better and complete my masters degree in public health!

I am also deaf, and have a lot of experience related to advocacy, bilingualism, and deaf culture issues. I'm pretty open and outspoken about different issues that afflict deaf, hard of hearing, and other differently abled people, such as people with learning delays, in a wheelchair, etc.

My hobbies are reading fantasty novels, rock climbing (indoors), and outdoor activities.
