I'm Emma, I'm 27 living in London (and I love it here).
I work in social media as a content producer and art advisor. I hope to be a curator one day!
I love the arts, environmental sciences, animals, astronomy, horror, fashion, and makeup. And I love going for long walks!
I am hard of hearing, with moderate-severe hearing loss in my right ear (the sound in my right ear is too quiet and muffled to understand anything, it's pretty much useless). I've just started using a hearing aid but still mostly depend on my left ear!
I'm excited to be part of a wonderful community and get to know people, and to practice what I'm learning in BSL!

So many reasons!
in Why are you learning BSL?

There are so many reasons why I want to learn BSL.
When I was little I was properly introduced to BSL by my mum, she learned BSL as part of her job as a child-minder. She taught me what she learned and I loved the language!
I always wanted to learn more but never found the time or anyone to practice with. I've had many jobs in public sector and learned that I could be more inclusive with my communication.
Being diagnosed with hearing loss motivated me even more to learn BSL. It will be incredibly helpful for me as I struggle hearing what people are saying most of the time, and I know how much it will help others who use BSL to communicate.
It's also such an interesting and amazing language, I'm very excited to learn and become fluent in BSL!
