My name is Hunter McGowan and I am an individual with deafblindness due to the etiology of Usher syndrome type II. My interests include: tandem bicycling, camping, kayaking, reading, writing and learning new skills. I am an undergraduate college student heading into my Senior year of the Social Work program with a minor in Sociology. I plan to continue my education into graduate school in Clinical Counseling with the goal of a dual concentration in Mental Health and Vocational Rehabilitation. I am very excited for the upcoming DBCA/DBYAA program and supporting our new potential members as a mentor. I believe it is important to be a leader and a voice on behalf of our deafblind community to advocate for our unique and individualized needs.
