VALOREE BOYER
SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER
Corey's presentation about the hard of hearing community was engaging, informative, and incorporated many relatable aspects to an interpreter's work. Corey taught skills and reframing concepts that I knew I could immediately apply to my work. It is one of the most valuable workshops I've ever attended. Every interpreter should take Corey's training!
