Owner of ASL Interpreter Collaborative
Erin (she/her)
Professionally:
Erin took a class in basic ASL in high school as an elective and fell in love with the language. She got a Bachelor's degree in Athletic Training, but it just wasn't the career for her. She graduated from the SWIC interpreter training program in 2004. She worked with DeafWay interpreting services from 2005 until it's closing in 2022.
She loves interpreting in the medical field, and other science related topics. She's also spent several years mentoring other new interpreters through DeafWay's former mentoring program and is looking forward to creating more opportunities the future generation of interpreters.

Personally:

-
Erin is an introvert. She tends to be on the quiet side, but loves getting to know people one on one.
-
She has three rambunctious boys: Caden (who also uses the name Reuben, working towards his black belt in karate, 11), Owen (almost 7, and a ball of energy), Jackson (3 and still my sweet baby).
-
Her husband, Joshua (deaf in one ear) is a graphic designer and the official maker of kettle corn for our summer time venture, Tricerapops kettle corn.
-
Erin spends her free time (ha! What's that?) getting chocolate milk, chicken nuggets for the littles and putting Paw Patrol on the kindle. She also watches Peppa Pig, Mr. Beast, and Let's Game it out (YouTube stuff my kids watch).
-
Erin dreams about naps, and not stepping on toys.
