Joanna Byun
Joanna Byun is a volunteer with LLCN and plans on being involved in neuroscience as a career. Currently, she is pursuing a degree in computer science but will eventually get a degree in neuroscience. She is using the volunteer opportunity to become more familiar with the field and discover how she can use the information to help the deaf community. She has volunteered in many events for deaf people, ASL students and interpreters in Florida. As a deaf person, Joanna is motivated to further understand the impact of ASL on language development for deaf people.

Ryan Edinger
I am a junior at SDSU majoring in Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Physics. I took three years of American Sign Language in high school and really enjoyed learning about the language and Deaf culture. I am very excited to be working with the Kinect system and learning how deaf people process words and produce signs, in hope to be able to develop my own technology for the Deaf community.

Andrea Manriquez
A junior at SDSU, who just recently transferred from Imperial Valley College, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I am highly interested in attending Grad School and pursuing a career in therapy in the future. I took two courses of American Sign Language and one in Deaf culture, in my community college, which made me become highly interested in the Deaf community and the language itself. I am thrilled to see what research I will get to work on at the LLCN lab and I also hope to practice and learn more ASL in the process!

Priscilla Martinez
Priscilla Martinez is a undergraduate at SDSU. She is a senior majoring in Psychology with and emphasis in Cognitive Neuroscience and Development Psychology. Priscilla is bilingual and is interested in better understanding deaf culture and a language that differs from her own. Her interest in ASL began 4 years ago when her nephew began to sign from watching others around him while no one in the family knew ASL. She is excited to be apart of a lab doing research in the area.

Shanna Tenne
I am currently a junior majoring in Speech Language and Hearing Sciences. After pursing graduate school, I plan on implementing ASL with my future clients in therapy. My increasing passion for sign language is what interested me in joining this lab as well as currently attending my third ASL course. I am open and excited for the opportunities the LLCN lab has to offer, and to expand my knowledge within the Deaf community.
