Hi! I'm Megan (she/her), as seen being signed above with my sign name, an M handshape on the cheek.

I am interested in working in middle school classrooms because I think that is a fun age. I'm also interested in experiencing what it is like to work in other settings, such as interpreting for the theatre. I'm looking forward to having many different experiences once I start work. A big goal of mine is also to pass the RID National Certification exam, as well as the EIPA and BEI Certification Exam. This is important to me because it will show the Deaf community and other interpreters that I have the skills and knowledge necessary to work and that I am qualified to do the job. Deaf people in my community have let me know that it is difficult for them to find interpreters whom they can consistently depend on and trust. My overall goal is to become an interpreter and a person whom they can consistently trust to provide quality communication access. Thank you!
