The ABC's of American Sign Language and Deaf Culture



Donna Lee

Donna was born and raised in New York. She is married and a proud Mom of 5-year old, twin boys. Born with a unilateral hearing loss, she first became interested in learning sign language when a friend suggested taking classes for her own communication needs. In 2002, after receiving a BAHA (bone-anchored hearing aid) and working with the Deaf community, she completed the IEP (Interpreter Education Program) at LaGuardia Community College. In 2004, Donna obtained national certification in American Sign Language Interpreting. She currently works as a staff interpreter at Mt. Sinai - Beth Israel Medical Center.

Donna enjoys staying active with friends and family. She also loves fashion styling and runs a small business (Chloe + Isabel Jewelry.)

Donna holds an undergraduate degree in Business Marketing from Ithaca College and a Master's degree in Deafness Rehabilitation from NYU.
