Poet, writer, teacher, speaker (even in ASL).

Magdalena Giovanna Rosa is a poet, writer, teacher, mom, and speaker (even in ASL). She studied at York University in Toronto with an Honours BA with Physical Education /Psychology; B.Ed at University of Toronto; Deaf Ed at York University; and then, with an International Rotary Scholarship attended Gallaudet University in WDC, the only university in the world tailored to Deaf students. It was a dream come true.

Born second youngest in a very-Catholic Italian family of seven children – six girls and one boy – Magdalena, who is hearing, has a cousin who is Deaf and the rest is her-story. 

Magdalena is now making a big career shift slowly leaving the classroom and stepping into the role of writer and poet where she has not only found great healing but also a long-awaited connection to her intuition.

After publishing her first poetry book, The Day I Bought a Teddy Bear and a Vibrator, Magdalena says the whole process has been incredibly transformational.

She is also a certified Feeding Your Demons® Facilitator, Certified Yoga Instructor 500hrs, and Certified NIA 5 Stages Instructor.
