Meet Farren Friedell, a student in the Interpreting Training/American Sign Language (ASL) program.

Farren has found not just a path in ASL, but a purpose. She approaches her education with a sense of determination, and every obstacle she's faced has strengthened her perspective and fueled her drive to finish strong.

With just 10 classes to go, Farren is closing in on a milestone she doesn’t take for granted—graduation. She is already looking ahead, with plans to pursue a bachelor's degree in ASL Interpreting.

What stands out most to Farren? The constant support from her HCC village, a community that uplifts and encourages every step of the way.

Her message says it all: “If you're considering college, HCC is the place to be!”
