  • Summit Attendee

    This workshop helped me better understand areas where I was already using some consecutive interpreting in VRS and gave me ideas for how I could apply it even more. I always value Tim’s experiences as a CODA and the wide range of interpreting work he has done over the years

    A great way to share our own perspectives and learn how others might handle the same situation.

Tim Mallory

Timothy Mallory is from the New England area and is a CODA of two Deaf parents, who attended the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, CT. Tim is RID certified (CI) and has been interpreting and teaching ASL for about 30 years. He specializes in interpreting in the VRS/VRI world as well as educational settings. Additionally for the past 15 years his work includes translation from text to ASL. He currently lives in the New York city area, however he is a Boston sports fan for life. Much of Tim’s work in translation has led to the development of a skillset that can be applied to the interpreting process. His aim is that skills learned will enable interpreters to perform the work necessary without expending all of their energy. The course he teaches will focus on techniques that will help you to interpret with more confidence and ease.
