Building a team to grow the next generation of gaming at Samsung.

Working globally with our teams to accelerate partners, identify great content, and engage with developers on long-horizon projects. Connecting emerging technologies and games for our players and developers.

I had the great pleasure of interpreting for clients across the Rocky Mountain region in meat-packing plants, breweries, operating rooms, courtrooms, doctors offices, classrooms in every university, drivers-ed training, and been a part of the joy of weddings. The wealth of experience that I had could only have come from a community as diverse as Colorado's Deaf. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.

Freelanced as an interpreter in a myriad of settings: Emergency rooms, courts, mediation, contract negotiation, interviews, job training, weddings, religious services, meat packing plants, universities, and public events.

Directed community fund-raising efforts and successfully sponsored 3 students to the Colorado Interpreter Conference.
