Fluent in American Sign Language since 2002, she became a freelance sign language interpreter in 2007 working primarily in the medical industry fields of women’s health and pediatrics.

In 2009 she returned to education as a sign language interpreter for K-12. Pregnant with her first baby, Hubbell decided to develop a curriculum to teach her husband to cultivate early communication with their baby.
