I'm a senior at Suffolk University majoring in history.  I've just accepted a position at Boston College's history MA program.  I hope to specialize in Cold War history, and to be a history professor some day.  I came out as transgender my senior year of high school, and began living as a woman after graduating in 2011.  

Two years ago I saw the film Shape of a Voice.  As a trans woman, I identified with the main character's feeling of loneliness.  I started learning ASL to help create a society that includes everyone, not just hearing people.  Perhaps I'll get a professorship at a deaf university some day.  

I've often gone to lengths to educate others about the transgender community, and am willing to answer any questions you may have.  Feel free to message me.

Hi Claire! Good for you! So so brave and just...really I think that what you are doing is amazing. If you want to practice ASL I would love to do that. I really need the practice. I have not used sign for 15 years and Im just getting back into it and I want to take and then pass (of course!) The interpreter test! Please let me know if you are interested in practicing via video.

      How can a student ensure their writing aligns directly with the latest CIPD Profession Map outcomes?

      By AlexEden · Posted

      Students can ensure their writing aligns directly with the CIPD Profession Map by mapping assignments to the core professional behaviours (e.g., Ethical Practice, Professional Courage, Curious) and specialist knowledge standards relevant to their unit level. Demonstrate how practical application of the Profession Map’s core behaviours (like Valuing People, Working Inclusively, or Evidence-Based Practice) solves real-world workplace issues. Ensure to strengthen arguments with credible data by referencing official CIPD articles, toolkits, and current UK employment guidelines (such as Acas resources). And if you are struggling to apply Harvard referencing, then get help from professional CIPD assignment experts because you need to format the assignment using the four standard pillars: knowledge, analysis, professional practice, and referencing.

      Fingerspelling Game

      That sounds like a fun way to practice and improve signing skills. Games usually make learning feel much more relaxed, and they help people remember things better. It also reminds me how simple word games, like foot puns, can make learning activities more enjoyable because everyone likes sharing a good laugh while picking up something new.

      How to handle client changes in residential estimates?

      By Connor Gill · Posted

      Clear communication is probably the most important part when a client requests changes. Even small adjustments can affect materials, labor, and the overall schedule if they aren't reviewed properly. Updating the estimate before moving forward helps everyone stay on the same page. I've also seen arizona construction estimating services help contractors keep revised costs organized, making it easier to explain the impact of changes to clients.

      One thing that's made a big difference for me is discussing the cost impact of any changes with the client before the work moves forward. It helps avoid surprises and keeps everyone on the same page. Even small design changes can affect labor and material costs more than people expect. If you're managing projects in that region, arizona construction estimating services can also help keep revised estimates accurate when those changes come up.
