Hello Rangers!

Hello, my name is Beth Keysear and I am the ACCESS Employment Specialist. I have been a teacher at TSD since 2016 and will continue to work closely with students. Before moving to Texas, I was as an educational interpreter for 9 years in public schools in Florida and Illinois. I have two B.A. degrees, one in Elementary Education and one in Deaf Education from MacMurray College. I taught high school at the Illinois School for the Deaf for one year. My husband and I moved to Austin in July of 2016. We just bought a house in 2018, so we are planting our roots here in Austin.
 
My husband and I have three adult children between us, one daughter lives in Colorado and the other daughter and son live in Illinois. Our children are 27, 27, and 24 years old! In our little family of 5, we have 3 teachers!  Whenever possible you will find me swimming, reading, or entertaining friends. I also love to cook, restore furniture, and shop!
 
I love being a Ranger!  Please contact me if I can provide additional support or if you have questions. We are a team and that team includes teachers, staff, students, parents, employers...
