About
Email Brenda

• Interested in the American Sign Language (ASL) program at Kirtland Community College,
• seeking to cross over communication bridges to the land of the Deaf, escorted by a professional guide,
• Individuals or service providers (Deaf and hearing) seeking interpreter (ASL, oral, or voicing)assistance.

The term “Bridge” as used on this web page is a metaphor. The interpreters of the world act as “bridges” spanning the communication gaps between hearing and deaf worlds.

Brenda (the short version)

• Adjunct ASL instructor at Kirtland Community College (1990+)
• Interpreter: NAD IV under RID and NAD
• Owns business: "Signingly Yours” Interpreting Services
• Professional memberships: RID, MIRID, MIRID VI, ASLTA, NAD, MDA, MSD, KIRTLAND MS

Brenda has created and facilitated biannual ASL/Deaf awareness Spring and Fall workshops for Kirtland and MIRID VI since 1995. Her goal has always been to show the interpreter as a bridge between the hearing and Deaf worlds. The environment at these workshops has always been bicultural-bilingual to provide equal access for all and to encourage socializing and information exchanging.. These workshops are always offered free of charge for the Deaf or hard-of-hearing participants.
