Ryan Kraft

Toronto – NIC

Hello! My name is Ryan Kraft and these are my name signs. I am from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I started learning ASL because I wanted to communicate with my Deaf friends in their natural language. I took an American Sign Language and Deaf Studies certificate, a three year ASL-English interpreter program, and upon graduation relocated to Rochester, NY. There I took an interpreter apprentice program, and upon completion of that program I moved back to Toronto–where I’ve lived since then. I typically work in community, higher education, mental health, VRI, VRS, conference, and a general multitude of settings. I’m looking forward to meeting all of you!
