Experienced American Sign Language Interpreter skilled in tailored interpreting strategies and collaboration. Known for attention to detail and cultural awareness, ensuring clarity and effective communication in various settings.
Interpreted all business communications for an administrator, including phone calls, meetings, and presentations. I did that for approximately 5 years until they transferred to another position.
Was recruited to another state agency from 1986 to 2011 with a 2-year break in 2000. Here I was the lead interpreter with other duties added to my interpreting assignments. In this position I interpreted the gamut of interpreting jobs such as medical, mental health, performing arts, conferences, meetings, phone calls.
From 2000 to 2002 I worked for another state facility where I mostly interpreted mental health related assignments.
In 2002 I was recruited back to my earlier position. After a few months I was assigned to the administrator as his personal interpreter.
