About the Instructor
Growing up, Charity was educated in both self-contained, fully-mainstreamed classes with and without interpreters and K-12 residential programs for the Deaf. As a mother of two bilaterally and unilaterally deaf children, Charity assisted and taught them how to establish and jointly operate a pigeon release business providing services for special occasions. This business was in operation for ten years from age of 5 and 8 years old and the skills they learned of lifelong importance. While raising two children, Charity also worked as a Recruiter, Director of Admissions, and Chief Enrollment Management Officer in the higher education sector. In these roles, she travelled and presented at over 3,000 K-12 schools and community colleges in 50 states, 9 Canadian provinces, and other countries. Her presentations were about educational and career pathways for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind, Late-Deafened, and Unilaterally Deaf individuals.
Her own experience as a child, as a mother raising deaf children, and as a professional who saw enormous diversity in deaf children makes her highly sensitive and inclusive of all deaf people with different speech, language, and communication needs.
