Summary

Passionate and dedicated aspiring BSL interpreter, raised as a CODA(Child of Deaf Adults) with lifelong exposure to the Deaf community and British Sign Language. Formally qualified at BSL Level 2 and 3 and currently completing Level 6 to progress into professional interpreting. Having a strong foundation in bilingual communication, helps to adapt quickly to different communication styles and navigate between Deaf and hearing spaces with ease. I'm committed to bridging communication gaps and providing inclusive, person-centred support in both Deaf and hearing environments.
