In 2009, she spent 3 months in Cambodia, Thailand, and Malaysia aboard the MV Doulos and with the Thai Deaf community, which has since ignited a passion for exploring the global Deaf community. Her volunteer endeavors include mentoring local Interpreter Training Program students, San Diego’s Resource Fair, CPR Saturday, San Diego Spring Round Up, and events with both Deaf Community Services and The Rock Church of San Diego. She is a musician, a runner, a writer, and a self-proclaimed philosophy geek.
