Lindsay Buchko, deaf since birth, graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) with a B.S. in Industrial Engineering and a M.S. in Quality Applied Statistics. She was an industrial engineer with Intel Corporation for three years. She has also worked at International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation and at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center, and with Motorola Corporation. Currently, she is a Mathematics and General Studies instructor at Gallaudet University. Lindsay has served as an ambassador in the PEN-International program at National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) with the goals of improving and expanding post secondary education for the deaf and hard of hearing students around the world by sharing educational technology. Through this program, she went to Moscow, Russia and became inspired to do more for the deaf community. It is her hope that she will be able to advocate and educate the deaf community of the resources and rights that the deaf community should have and can have. Lindsay lives by the quote: "Life is a journey, not a destination. Live it, embrace it, and help others." |
