What I'm looking for
I’m an Experienced American Sign Language interpreter with 25+ years facilitating clear, accurate communication across complex, high-stakes environments including medical, mental health, educational, legal, government, and community settings. I’m known for strong linguistic judgment, cultural awareness, and the ability to adapt communication in real time across diverse contexts—while maintaining strict confidentiality and ethical standards.
Beyond interpretation, I also bring hands-on leadership from serving as a Bar Manager, where I managed daily operations, scheduling, payroll, financial reporting, and conflict resolution. Across both roles, I focus on accessibility, compliance, and collaborative feedback—supporting continuous improvement in communication quality and service delivery.
