Peggy Green started learning ASL in 1986 at SCCC because her father had degenerative nerve damage causing a
progressive hearing loss which has left him deaf. After high school, she
went to Gallaudet University's summer ASL program. In 1991, she completed
the AAS interpreting program at SCCC and began freelance interpreting
full-time. Just one of many incredible experiences, she worked for a month
with a deaf student in Japan. Peggy has a BA in Linguistics/English and a MA
in Linguistics from Stony Brook University and is very much interested in
the linguistics of ASL.
"After studying linguistics, I enjoy teaching so much more. I can help ASL students with the difficulties of
learning a second language because I can almost see their minds working, and
I find the process so enjoyable."
