Language Coaches
American Sign Language (ASL)
AlyssaHello! My name is Alyssa and I am a sophomore studying Psychology. I have taken ASL for 5 years and I am very passionate about the language. I took ASL 102 and 103 my freshman year, so I understand the workload and types of assignments that are given. Fun fact: I interpreted gospel readings and songs at my high school’s cathedral! If you have any questions or need assistance on your ASL learning journey, feel free to stop by during my designated coaching hours or make an appointment with me! I’m always happy to help.
