ASL Interpreter
I am an American Sign Language interpreter. ASL is my first language, I grew up in the Deaf community, as both of my parents are Deaf. I have extensive experience interpreting in a wide variety of settings including Educational, Conference, Legal, Video-Relay, Personal, Medical and Business. I am passionate about interpreting and regularly attend local and national trainings to stay current in my profession. I believe that life is about learning and growing both personally and professionally. When not working I love spending time with my family, the Deaf community, gardening or reading.
