Hello! I am a nationally certified ASL interpreter based in the Salem-Keizer area with almost 20 years of professional experience. I graduated WOU's Interpreter Training Program in 2009, and I spent my career working closely with the Deaf community wherever I've found myself—managing everything from educational, mental health, and community interpreting contracts to leading a remote coordinating team as a former agency director. Driven by a commitment to clear communication and cultural competency, I now run my own practice, focusing on delivering reliable, community-centered service. Outside of my daily interpreting work, I am deeply passionate about mentoring up-and-coming interpreters and volunteering in ways that support literacy and community well-being.
