I have often received invitations to go
abroad. However, I have family responsibilities that keep me home.
I cherish what I've learned about
International Sign Language through workshops and professional networking. For
example, during Deaf Way II, I worked full time with a Deaf international
interpreter. It was an incredibly rewarding experience! I have also had the
honor of meeting many Deaf people from different countries.
The Deaflympics in Australia showed my
video, "Surf", on their huge screen! I found this out when one of my
friends saw me performing on screen in front of thousands of people.
I've been happy
to see websites and magazines feature my work. That has given me some
international name recognition. One day, I hope to go abroad, and meet people
from other countries in person.
