Yvonne is a qualified British Sign Language Level 6 and a native Deaf user. Her journey began in Ireland, where she was born into a Deaf family and her first language is Irish Sign Language (ISL). In 2010, she moved to England, where she embraced BSL as part of her professional and personal life.

She works part-time as a support worker for Deaf and Deafblind clients and is actively involved in local groups for Deaf children and families in Essex.

In addition to her support work, Yvonne teaches BSL to children and adults from Levels 1 to 3 via remote, supporting communication and promoting understanding of Deaf culture. She is also a member of the Association of British Sign Language Teachers and Assessors (ABSLTA) and is currently studying INTRA interpreting and translation to enhance her skills.
