Meet Gemma Hunter BCAc
22 Years Working Within and Supporting The Deaf Community

Her experience spans community work, education, health and wellbeing, training and personal development, experience that ultimatley helped shaped the organisation Deafersify is today.
As Chief Executive Gemma brings something that can't be learned from a textbook: lived experience.
