Hello! My name is Sydney Alphin, and I will be the Language Assistant for the American Sign Language (ASL) pod at Shea House this year (2025-2026). I am a fourth-year majoring in Youth and Social Innovation and minoring in ASL. I enjoy everything from crafting, watching movies, and thrifting. I've been a resident at Shea since my second year, and I've loved every minute of being a part of this language community! I've experienced invaluable opportunities to explore Deaf culture and improve my ASL skills since being here, and I hope to cultivate the same atmosphere for future residents!"
