NVRC is committed to maintaining a learning environment that is free from discrimination and bias and encourages mutual respect among all participants.
Trix’s workshops benefit participants at every level. Many advanced interpreters have shared that they enjoy learning updated or unfamiliar signs, including regional variations. They also appreciate when she demonstrates how to translate messages into ASL rather than signing English word for word.
Interpreters consistently report that her workshops are valuable both for review and for discovering how new tools they can apply in their professional work. Students have also mentioned that the sessions help them better understand how to approach their own projects, research, and practice more effectively.
