Interpreter Coordinator

I have been the Interpreter Coordinator here at the AIDB Mobile Regional Center since 1999 and Nationally Certified through RID (Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf)  since 1995.  I love interpreting in the community - in all areas - medical, legal, social services, conferences, theater, etc.  I also advocate for the Deaf to ensure that they have access to public places with appropriate accommodations and work with businesses to provide ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accommodations.  I am very involved in helping provide educational training and workshops for local interpreters with the ALRID (AL Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf).  I am a big supporter of the AL Licensure Law for Interpreters in AL and provide mentoring and support to local interpreters when requested.
