Summary
As an ASL Interpreter, my goal was to clearly communicate the content of day to day phone calls into American Sign Language for the Deaf consumer placing the call. I worked hard to make sure everyone involved in the call was clearly understood. I interpreted in legal, educational, medical and personal calls for Purple Communications, Inc. while ensuring interpretation accuracy. Skilled in advanced ASL and cross-cultural communication, significantly improving service quality and inclusivity. As an interpreter, we had to follow and comply to all legal ethical codes of professionalism.
