Jay is passionate about connecting individuals through digital technology and communication strategies that align with accessibility and equitable values. They found ASL and the Deaf Community later in life, forming bonds and connections through the relationships and experiences gained during their time at Gallaudet University where they earned a Bachelor’s in Deaf Studies and a Master’s in International Development. Jay’s passion for inclusive education, bilingual language development, student success, and community involvement came to fruition through their work with the Motion Light Lab, Humanity & Inclusion, Save the Children, and many other wonderful organizations and programs. They are an avid reader and cold brew connoisseur who always appreciates a new coffee shop recommendation.
