I am deaf and originally from Maryland. I was born in Calcutta, India, and adopted by an American family. Calcutta is known as the home of Saint Mother Teresa, founder of the Missionaries of Charity.
I earned an Associate degree in Graphic Design from the Rochester Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Photography from the University of North Florida.
I was raised in the Lutheran Church. Eight years ago, God brought my wonderful husband and mother-in-law into my life in Georgia. Through their faith, I was inspired to become Catholic and began a new journey with God.
In the summer of 2026, I graduated from the Ministry Formation Program, which deepened my faith and strengthened my desire to serve the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
