A New Jersey native, I spent my first four years living on the New Jersey School for the Deaf campus before I moved to Pennsylvania with my Deaf father John, DeafBlind mother Winnie, and hearing sister Jessica. I landed in Rhode Island via the interpreter training program at Northeastern University in Boston. I became nationally certified, and have worked in various settings including conferences, post-secondary, DeafBlind, video relay, and community. In addition to co-founding Partners Interpreting, I serve as the Director of Interpreting! When not working, I enjoy time with my children and my dog Tyra, especially at the beach.
I was born and raised in Philadelphia and am a die-hard Eagles fan. I graduated from Gallaudet University with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and a master’s degree in Leisure Service Administration. When I am not working, I love to clang and bang in the weight room to train in the powerlifting method, enjoy food, and catch movies and shows on Netflix. I currently live in Maryland with my wife, Bregitt, our daughter and our three furkids.
I grew up in a small town in Rhode Island with my family. During my sophomore year at La Salle Academy in Providence, I was introduced to the Deaf community through a close family friend. I began learning ASL and started at Partners Interpreting in 2018. What started as an internship turned into a scheduler job, followed by my current role. Outside of work and sign language classes, I spend my time with my pets, watering my small jungle, reading true crime books, and watching sunsets at the beach with friends.
Born and raised in Iowa, I greatly enjoy traveling and have visited 31 states so far. I love meeting new people, hearing new accents, and trying new food. My three children are grown, giving me more time to hike with my rescue dog, read all the books I can, fail at keeping my house plants alive, and enjoy all things chocolate. Prior to coming to Partners Interpreting in 2021, I worked at a credit union and traveled the country training clients and installing payroll systems, along with a fun mix of HR, accounting, management, and processing payrolls. My experience with the deaf community before Partners was limited but I have been warmly welcomed. I appreciate getting to work with this wonderful team every day!
I was born and raised in Massachusetts, where I obtained degrees in interpreting from Northern Essex Community College and University of New Hampshire-Manchester, yet I never felt like working as an interpreter was the right fit for me. I spent 11 years living in Austin, Texas, where I hit my stride as an interpreter coordinator and eventually the office manager at a busy interpreting agency. I went on to become a program specialist for the Board for Evaluation of Interpreters (BEI). My roots called me back to Massachusetts in 2021, but Austin will always hold a special place in my heart. I am a Bruins fan, hairless cat enthusiast, nature lover/glamping queen, and I enjoy traveling whenever I get the chance.
Prior to joining Partners Interpreting in the language industry, I earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from Northeastern University and spent several years working in banking and taxation. A desire to be more involved with the Deaf community led to me joining Partners Interpreting. Some pastimes include being at the beach, painting, collecting houseplants and doing the Sunday crosswords.
I grew up in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, where I attended Bloomsburg University for a degree in ASL/English interpreting with a concentration in Deaf education. I interned with Partners Interpreting in Summer 2012, which was an amazing experience. Post-graduation, I was hired as a full-time Interpreter coordinator and Partners Interpreting has been stuck with me ever since. I enjoy fishing, traveling, video games, and beach days with my family.
I have a bachelor’s degree in business administration and spent many years working in the financial industry and at Ocean Spray Cranberries in supply chain coordination. I am the proud parent of three girls, including one Deaf, which is why I decided to begin working with and for the Deaf community. I received an associate degree in Deaf studies from Bristol Community College (BCC) and have a deep desire to continue learning and building on my language skills. When I am not working or shuttling my kids to activities, I enjoy long-distance running, soccer, family hikes with our dog, reading, and Netflix binges.
After being born and raised in Kentucky for the first eight years of my life, my family — my parents and two siblings — and I moved to Tennessee to be closer to my mother’s family. I have remained in Tennessee since then except for a year and a half in Iowa. The majority of my working life has been centered on customer service in one form or another. I got involved in the Deaf community when I started working for Visual Communications Interpreting in December 2017. In 2022, I came to Partners Interpreting when the company purchased Visual Communication Interpreting. I look forward to developing my sign language skills to better assist our clients and fellow employees.
Born and raised in the Chicagoland area, I have been in the world of ASL interpretation for over 10 years. I earned degrees from Elmhurst University in Communication and lntercultural Studies with a specialization in Disabilities and Deaf Culture. After working in the business world for a few years, I went back to school to earn an American Sign Language Interpretation Career Certificate. During my schooling I volunteered at many organizations and became immersed in the local Deaf communities. I gained Captioning knowledge by working as a Client Service Specialist, Coordinator, and Key Account Manager at captioning agencies managing nationwide top clients from inbound inquiries to successful service delivery. My passion for communication and equal access and opportunity keeps me focused and motivated. I’m very happy to be on the Partners Interpreting team this year to coordinate Captioning services and assist wherever I’m needed. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my two young children, husband, and two doodles. For fun, I love seeing live music concerts and dancing!
I am a graduate of the interpreting program at the National Institute of the Deaf at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I have been a certified interpreter for over 20 years working in Rochester and Buffalo, NY. In 2018, I transitioned to working remotely, expanding to provide services across the United States which brought new challenges and opportunities. Throughout my career I have held many different roles in the field of interpreting. I have worked as a Dedicated Interpreter, Trainer, Manager, Director, Diagnostician, and Instructional Designer in the field of interpreting, as well as other industries. I find working with individually with interpreters through self-assessment and skill development the most rewarding part of the work. I am honored to be currently serving as the Director of Professional Development for Partners Interpreting. Outside of work, I enjoy working out, spending time with my family, and traveling to white sandy beaches.
