Personal Statement
I have been an NRCPD Registered Sign Language Interpreter (RSLI) for over 15 years. I can also be contacted for bookings requiring Sign Supported English (SSE)/English Interpreting.
In addition, since 2019, I have also become an NRCPD Registered Lipspeaker which can be with or without supporting signs. This means that I can work with deaf, deafened, hard of hearing people and those with a hearing loss who use their own voice and use few/no signs.
The different domains I work in are quite diverse, such as:
- remote/online interpreting using platforms such as Zoom or MS Teams etc
- professional (eg: office support, interviews, appraisals and large or small meetings)
- training courses (both informal and those which are mandatory or lead to certification in a particular area)
- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans (LGBT+) events
- theatre, both on-stage/performance interpreting and backstage (eg: rehearsals, backstage tours, production meetings)
- galleries, museums and heritage venues (eg: tours working with a hearing or a Deaf presenter)
- community (eg: medical, parent teacher meetings)
When not interpreting online, I usually work across Greater London and SE England. Further afield and international can be considered.
