ABOUT THE TEACHER
Lilly Da Silva, Julieanne Dotson
Lilly Da Silva
¡Hola! Lilly da Silva was born in Nyack, New York, but was raised in San José, Costa Rica for 15 years where she learned her Spanish and accent. She has been married to her best friend and hero, Kenneth, for 34 years. She praises the Lord for the honor to have homeschooled their 3 children, Bryant, Brendan, and Bianca for 17 years. Lilly has tutored Spanish at home, co-ops, private tutoring, and has translated for clients and staff as needed at the PRC. As a former youth minister, she mentored them to reach out to others and to also be still and hear God's heartbeat. She has volunteered at the United States Air Force Auxiliary Civil Air Patrol at the Southside Composite Squadron, as the squadron photographer and closet manager, which gave her the opportunity to work with cadets. She is excited about the upcoming school year at Bridge Academy!
Julieanne Dotson
Julieanne (Julie) is in her final year of the Interpreting program at J.S.Reynolds, obtaining two degrees in Deaf Studies and ASL-English Interpreting. She has spent four years at Reynolds learning about Deaf culture and American Sign Language and, with her assistant-teaching experience, is excited to share it with students in a Christ-centered environment! Outside of school and the Deaf community, Julie enjoys scrapbooking, photography, and glamping trips with her family. She looks forward to bringing her love of ASL and Deaf Culture into the classroom.
