My message to my deaf community is that we can redefine anything however we want. Anything is re-definable only if we believe and work hard for it.

I am truly humbled. Not only that I am going to be known as the final Top Model but as a final Top Model who is deaf! And that is an amazing tagline. This proves that deaf people can do anything and everything.

I am one hundred percent ready to be a spokesperson for the deaf community.

We have our own culture, our own community. A lot of people don't realize that. They just assume that deaf people are very unfortunate, very disabled, but no.

There is research proving that deaf people have increased visual abilities.

I'm really excited to educate the world about what deaf people can do.
