Meet Gwen Reed

Gwen Reed learned to love ASL in high school.

American Sign Language/English Interpreting (ASEI) & ASL Education Double Major

Gwen Reed, American Sign Language/English Interpreting (ASEI) and ASL Education double major, came to Kent State from Toano, VA, but was actually adopted from China as a child.

She chose ASEI as her major because she loves ASL as a language and was able to watch an interpreter at her high school, which inspired her to pursue interpreting as a career. She hopes to be able to improve on her ASL skills during her undergraduate experience and after graduation hopes to be able to interpret for music events.
