Since 2019, I've had the privilege of working as a freelance interpreter in Washington, D.C. My favorite thing about my job is the novelty of each day! The people I have the pleasure of working with challenge me to be both a better human and better interpreter. Through my position as secretary, I'm looking forward to the opportunity to give back to the interpreting and Deaf communities in a tangible way. What I hope to bring to PCRID is: I hope to bring eagerness and creativity in supporting the PCRID vision and board for the next two years. In my time here, I commit to prioritizing connection and inclusion in the spaces we create with our community. I hope I leave PCRID having shown a willingness to listen, an ability to take responsibility for my mistakes, and a courage to show up and act in my position as secretary. |

What I hope to bring to PCRID is: In my position of the Independent Study CMP Volunteer, I will be processing the CEU's for any Independent Study that is submitted. I'm also trying to be involved in PCRID to be able to contribute and give back in any other way that may surface. I don't yet know how I will be able to insert my own flare or use my skills to grow and develop PCRID but I am looking out for those opportunities of possibilities to surface and will jump on them when that happens. |
