Interactive Sample








I believe that this is an appropriate sample of not only my receptive but my expressive work as well because it shows how I handle both tasks at the same time. There was some overlapping in this stimulus and as an interpreter you need to know how to handle that and how to play to the needs of both consumers. With that being said, I believe that this shows my attempt to keep dynamic equivalency in not only my voice and signed productions, but in my cultural mediation as well. My goals for this portfolio include establishing a piece of work that I can look back on and see my progression. While it is always nerve wrecking looking back and reviewing your work, I can say that this portfolio has allowed me to do so, and see the improvements that I have made. 

This is an interactive sample of a woman discussing funeral arrangements for a friend of hers. She is meeting with the funeral director on behalf of her friend's family, however, this is her first time at a funeral home so this is also an introductory meeting to the funeral process as well.

Receptive Work Sample




I believe that this is an appropriate sample of my receptive skills because it shows my use of a versed vocabulary as well as my attempt to take the ASL syntax and interpret it into sensible English and keep dynamic equivalence. My goal for this portfolio is to provide a fair representation of my voicing skills thus far and I believe by giving a cold interpretation of this video with little preparation does that.  I want people to see the potential that I have rather than assume that I am something that I am not.

With that being said, this sample is a video from Cassie Simmons as she discusses how the climate change is affecting the different animal species across the world.
