The KAAN 2025 Conference will take place at The Grand Hyatt in Atlanta, GA, on June 20-22. The theme this year is Growth and Change. As always, we offer an adoptee-only track alongside our general breakout sessions, which are open to all. We also offer programs for adults and youth (ages 8-17). All are welcome, including adoptees, birth families, family members (adoptive parents, spouses/partners, siblings and children of adoptees), service providers, and Korean Americans. We look forward to seeing you there!

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at tech@wearekaan.org.

ASL Access Coordinator

About me

I have been involved with KAAN since 2017 as the ASL Access Coordinator. I am responsible for the coordination for ASL access including interpretation and/or coordination services for all of KAANs events. I also try to reach out to Deaf adoptees about our accessible spaces. Additionally, I work with establishing safe space for hands up practice times with our novice adoptee interpreters. I work as a staff interpreter for Professional Interpreting Enterprise (WI) and in my free time, I'm climbing rocks, plastic and real.
