Personal Statement
Currently specialise in AI, psychology, and deafblind work.
30+ years experience interpreting across all areas, with perhaps the most unusual assignment being the (alleged) exorcism of a Deaf poltergeist for a BBC program.
My strengths and passions (AI, psychology, linguistics, personal / professional development, and strategic management / leadership) are reflected in my academic background and current work:
- BA in Philosophy and Psychology, MSC in Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP).
- VRS/VRI interpreting, working with Deaf professionals in their work places, interpreting in government departments, and anything interesting.
- Training (interpreters and non-interpreters) in developing professional skills and psychological perspectives on communication, ageing, etc.
- Run DeafATW.com on a voluntary basis, supporting Deaf people and interpreters with Access to Work.
- Provide consultancy, support and signposting on interpreting and access issues.
Please contact me to discuss, pretty much anything.
