She was the first Hearing Undergraduate (HUG) student from the East Texas area to attend Gallaudet University since they began accepting a small percentage of hearing students in 2001. In 2009, she began working at Tyler Junior College as a Lab Specialist, providing academic support for Interpreting and ASL students and technological support for TJC’s Interpreter Training Program’s newly installed computer lab. From 2011 to 2014, Praytor taught a range of classes including ASL III and IV, Transliterating, and Sign to Voice as an adjunct instructor. She also presented annually as a guest lecturer on Classifiers in Special Topics and regularly substituted in other Interpreting and ASL courses.
