I began my journey with the Deaf community before coming to medical school starting with a basic American Sign Language class just to learn a few routine signs. I continued with the American Sign Language Club at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, hoping to learn more medical signs for any future interactions with Deaf patients. Through the club, I recently met an incredible four-year-old boy named John at a local community event to meet Peppa Pig.
We can all make a difference in the quality of health care provided to deaf patients and that difference starts with you.

My name is Michelle and I am a second year medical student at the University of California, Riverside. I hope to become a pediatrician in the Riverside area and to use sign language to communicate with deaf patients I encounter. Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with family & friends, rock climbing, & hiking.
