RoShawn Smith
Secretary
As a young adult, Roshawn left her hometown of Detroit, MI to enlist in the United States military. She served nine years. During her term in the military Roshawn had yet to find her calling. Armed with little more than her dream to succeed, a dream we all share, Roshawn went to Oakland Community College where she received her A.A. in Interpretation. She then enrolled in the biggest Deaf liberal arts college in the United States, Gallaudet University, where she received he B.A. in Interpretation.
Early in her first year of college, Roshawn discovered what she had always been looking for. Sign Language stirred her imagination, and ignited the fire within her soul. Now a professional interpreter and equipped with eleven years of interpreting knowledge, Roshawn’s life remains motivated by the mysterious mist of the future, of one thing she is sure: no matter what her priorities in life may become, her first will always be to serve.
