Kellina is a deaf coach and advocate, a podcast speaker, a best selling author, and a passionate entrepreneur on a mission to help young adults with disabilities achieve their goals while also educating others about the deaf community.  What makes her story even more incredible is that Kellina is actually a hard of hearing person who lost 100% of her hearing at the young age of 4. 

Being hard of hearing hasn’t stopped her from pursuing her dreams including gaining her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from York University and post-graduate certificate in Mental Health and Addiction, becoming a life coach, and an Amazon best selling author with her first book, “Everyday I Am Just Deaf.” Join us in this incredible story of triumph, success and determination. This inspirational story will help us all learn about how to tap into resources that will help us overcome any challenge and teach us how to execute self advocacy!

Just as we explore:
-Advocating for your self, your needs and desires
-College resources for those with a disability
-How to lean on to others for support
-How to accomplish your dreams, goals, ambitions no matter what the obstacles you encounter
-Find proof through her experience of what is possible for you, too!

She will share with us:
-Her experience attending college and completing her degree in Psychology against all odds
-Becoming an Amazon best selling author with her book Everyday I am Just Deaf
-And so much more.
