Instructor Bio: Marie Konwinski is the owner of My Smart Hands of Metro Detroit. Her appreciation for American Sign Language (ASL) began in her early childhood; discovering that her younger brother had suffered hearing loss during infancy, which impaired his verbal communication development. Marie often wondered what the impact would have been had they known and utilized the powerful tool of ASL.
When Marie came across the My Smart Hands Program, she was delighted to find that My Smart Hands highlighted the same important benefits of signing in which she believes so strongly.
Prior to joining My Smart Hands, Marie earned a bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University’s College of Business. She lives in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan with her husband. Together, they enjoy cooking, gardening and year-round outdoor activities with their two dogs. Marie is also a birth doula and midwife apprentice.
