Renee’ Erwin is a 2015 graduate of East Central University with a BA in Services to the Deaf/Counseling.  She did her internship here at TSHA and was hired as a Deaf Services Specialist.  She now oversees the Deaf Services (DS) Department as Deaf Services Manager since becoming full time in May of 2016. She has really improved the DS department, bringing more access, more involvement, and changing how DS serves our community including working with many other businesses, agencies, attorneys and organizations to better serve their deaf consumers. 
 
In 2017 she was chosen as 2018 Tulsa Woman of the Year by the Mayors Commission on the Status of Women in collaboration with the YWCA for improving access and breaking down barriers in Tulsa.  
 
When she isn’t working, she is enjoying time with her soon to be 1 year husband and their 7 children and staying busy with 6 of whom are ages 10 and under.  Her son and daughter in law recently made their home in Tulsa and she is excited to be welcoming a grandson in January 2023!

Vlogs by Deaf Services Department

All of our videos are created in sign language for our culturally deaf community. We always have a transcript posted in the description on YouTube and are working towards creating captions in the future. If you are interested in captioning and being a volunteer please contact togden@tsha.cc. If there is a topic you would like Deaf Services to consider doing a vlog over please contact Renee' Erwin, Deaf Services Manager at rerwin@tsha.cc
