Please join us in welcoming Erin Casler! Erin, the current Miss Deaf America, will be our newest DeafDC.com blogger. A mini-celebrity in her own right, the New York and Connecticut native quickly became a Washington urbanite last year after living among South Dakota’s amber waves of grain. As Miss Deaf America, she brings to DeafDC.com a wealth of knowledge on advocacy issues affecting the deaf and hard-of-hearing population, particularly on violence against women.

Erin, a Smith College alumna, is the assistant director of corporate and foundation relations at Gallaudet University, and her local activities include playing for the Maryland Stingers, a women’s rugby team. A voracious reader, Erin’s literary collection includes post-colonial literature and feminist theory, as well as topics covering Chomsky, Foucault, the United Nations, and Rwanda. She also has a remarkable array of pristine, unused art supplies, and a love for cooking, particularly when it involves recipes by Jamie Oliver.

Let’s give Erin a big DeafDC.com welcome!
