About Me: Hi, my name is Shannon and I'm a local certified ASL-English interpreter, mother and wife. I began interpreting professionally in DC but I have relocated to neighboring Baltimore where I do on-site and virtual work. I love connecting with people, learning new things, and supporting my friends and family any way I can! What I hope to bring to PCRID is: Gentleness, grace, and transparency. I hope through my leadership I am able to model a kindness and honesty that stays with people as they navigate not only the field of interpreting but in their own lives too. |
