A little bit about our instructor Jessika:
Jessika first came to sign language as a child. She grew up in a
small town in Northwest Georgia that was close to the Georgia School
for the Deaf. As an elementary student, Jessika's interest was piqued
by another student who was deaf and communicated using American Sign
Language.
