40 Under 40 Class of 2025
Ellicott City, MarylandVice President
Communication Service for the Deaf, Inc.
I am working to transform the way public health systems engage with the Deaf community‚ not as an afterthought or accommodation, but as a core population to serve with intentionality and respect.
Three words to describe me:
trailblazing, strategic, and resilient
The best part of my job:
Building bold solutions alongside deaf communities to ensure healthcare is accessible, equitable, and culturally responsive nationwide.
Something that would surprise others about me:
I’m a foodie adventurer - I’ve tried everything from snake venom in Taiwan to escargot in France. Exploring culture through food is one of my favorite ways to connect with people.
