About Me

Krystan Samaniego is a Nationally Certified Sign Language interpreter and former Spanish and

American Sign Language teacher.

She has a love and passion for the Deaf Community and started by volunteering with various programs when she was attending college; such as, Big Brother Big Sister for Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing children and later at Chicago Lighthouse with Deaf and Blind teens and young adults.

All 3 of her children learned Sign Language before they were able to speak. She is a firm believer in children learning sign since there are so many benefits and it’s such a fun and beneficial language.

She has been working within the Deaf community and using Sign Language daily in her personal and professional life for over 20 years.

Recently, Krystan found out that one of her daughters has a sensorineural hearing loss and this journey has even more meaning than ever.

So come learn, have fun, and experience all the benefits and beauty Sign Language has to offfer!
