About myself

I am a deaf professional having grown up in a deaf family, and lived life as a deaf person and am passionate about the deaf community and overcoming the challenges deaf people face in everyday life.

I campaigned for equality for deaf people in the construction industry and to try and change the current attitudes in the construction industry. I feel I have so much to offer.
