About Jenny

I have been an NIC Certified American Sign Language Interpreter for 5 years, and have been professionally interpreting for 10 years. I graduated from California State University, Fresno with a degree in Communicative Disorders and Deaf Studies: Interpreting emphasis. I have several years experience in educational K-12 interpreting, post-secondary, collegate, and community settings. Community settings include mental health, medical, and just about everything in between. While I was living in CA, I held a Disaster Response Interpreting credential for the state. This allowed me to interpret for press conferences and meetings regarding national, state, and local disaster topics. I have experience in VRS (Video Relay Services) with Sorenson Communications, which allowed me the experience to work with the many wonderful Deaf and Hard of Hearing community members nationwide. My last full-time position was with Amazon as an American Sign Language Specialist. This position entailed not only interpreting, but educating about and enforcing equality, accessabilty and culture to improve Amazon as whole.

Along my professional carreer, I have had the wonderful opportunity to mentor and coach not only the language and signs of ASL, but the interpreting process. I have worked with college level interns looking to get into the field, as well as interpreters that are looking to get certification and what testing processes look and feel like.

When I was 10, I met a Deaf person for the first time. A young girl came into my class and in followed her interpreter. I thought it was her dad, and I thought it was strange that in 5th grade, someones parent was walking them into a classroom. The first announcement was who the new student was, and why this man was here. I was fascinated and my eyes were open. I went home and told my parents that I wanted to be an interpreter when I grew up.

I am passionate about providing a bridge between the Deaf and hearing worlds, and trying to make the day to day ongoings for Deaf, as seamless as possible. I invision a world where ASL is more widespread and people are able to communicate freely and understand that being Deaf is a cultural identity and not a disability. I love being apart of up and coming interpreters goals and dreams, and also working with families that may have their own personal goals.

I worked with a family who had a son with Down Syndrome, Autism, and was Deaf. He had very little language and was low-functioning. I spent a summer with him, and by the end, he was able to communicate basic needs and wants and was a lot happier. This experience gave me so much gratitude for the people I get to meet and the community I am able to work with. I hope to bring joy to the lives I encounter, as much as they bring me joy!

I was sort of thrown into it with a position I had at an agency, and then I realized I LOVED it. I loved working with students and then I found a passion for teaching about Deaf culture and anything ASL!

I love sharing knowledge and helping those reach their goals!

I have been a professional interpreter for 10 years, and have worked in various fields of interpreting. I have worked with formalized internships as a mentor for students aiming to graudate with a degree in ASL Interpreting. I have worked with many to teach signs. Working with a wide variety or people with a wide variety of goals.

About the lesson

Depending on what their goals are and what topics they are wanting to work on or learn more about, I customize a program for that child, student, interpreter, or family.

I like to do an informal "meet and greet" to really understand what the goals are and to make sure we are a good fit together. From there- we work together to acheive the desired outcome.

I would rate Jenny a 10/10 if it was possible. She is AMAZING at teaching anyone she comes across. She taught me everything I know about ASL, and Deaf Culture when I started with knowing literally nothing. I went from knowing nothing to being a main point of contact within my network to training my peers. She instills you with all the knowledge, and tips in order to set you up for success. She has the most kindest, and gentle energy. Thank you for everything, Jenny!

Jenny was my mentor during my interpreter training program, and I highly recomend her. She taught me a lot about how to work in a team efficiently and smoothly. I learned so much vocabulary from her especially working in different registers. Jenny is very good about giving feedback that is clear about what I need to improve, and also affirming what I do right.

This is dependent on the program and the goals for working together.

Lessons could range from $20-60/lesson depending on the topic.

I like to negotiate depending on lesson package sizes and desired outcomes.

*Example: 8 lesson package for basic ASL signs (30 min)= $80
*Example: Interpreting Mentorship (including feedback on signs/language etc)= 4 sessions = $150
