She is President of the National Association of Interpreters in Education, Iowa’s TASK-12 representative, and a licensed interpreter in both Iowa and Nebraska. Her research examines interpreter skills in educational settings, their impact on student learning, and the role of Deaf language coaches.

Interpreters often work with underserved communities and in systems where they may witness or experience vicarious trauma. This 2-hour session explores trauma’s impact across the lifespan, its implications for interpreting, and practical strategies for recognizing trauma responses, adapting practice, and managing vicarious trauma.
