I'm a mom of two boys who are 12 and 7 years old and love to home tutor them in just about every subject. I've been a Sign Language Interpreter for 15+ years, a tutor on Wyzant's platform and in person for several years, and thoroughly love my work. I have tutored children, kids, young adults, adults, and even interpreting students in the use of American Sign Language.

Avidly reading, exploring the intricacies of English grammar, and worldly studies are my hobbies. I've lived in several US states as well as in Naples, Italy and have studied multiple European languages.

I've been reading at a collegiate level since the 4th Grade, was an ace in AP English in high school, and partially completed a BA in English before beginning my career in interpreting. Being an ASL interpreter requires a high competency in both English and ASL, as it's part of our credentialing and every day working processes. I've lived in and visited several European countries and studied their languages as well. I'm fluent in American Sign Language. While I'm not fluent in other foreign languages, my studies have given me a basic structural and conversational understanding of them.

I've been interpreting both in the community (medical, legal, business, etc) and educational (K-1, post-secondary, graduate, and doctorate) settings for 15+ years. I have been working with an Advanced level certification for the majority of that time.

Before becoming an interpreter, I was a vocalist from age 5 until 21 with many years of vocal training in the private arena as well as in college.

I'm happy to share my knowledge with others and love to see what true comprehension of a subject can result in. I love to make learning fun and encourage a lot of questions!
