UConn Early College Experience

I’m excited to be teaching American Sign Language (ASL) Level 2 at Conard High School in West Hartford, Connecticut, through our partnership with UCONN ECE. This collaboration will offer students an unique to gain a deeper understanding of the language and Deaf culture. With the support of UCONN, I look forward to fostering a dynamic and engaging learning environment where students can thrive and explore the rich linguistic aspects of ASL.

I had a very great time taking these UConn courses. They gave me an idea of what a college course would be like and getting college credit at the same is also amazing.

Truly amazing experience. Between my teacher and the course load itself, I excelled in Sociology and learned a lot. It contributed to the way I look at the world and gave me greater knowledge on how to handle any scenario. I would take the class again if I could.

This is my 12th year of shaping young minds, and my second year of bringing the wonders of Early Childhood Education and Human Development and Family Studies to EO Smith students. But that's not all— I'm also a proud mom and a beloved mimi, juggling the joys of family life with the passion I try to pour into my teaching. It's a pleasure to meet you!
