TERP Group provides a place for fellow interpreters to find positive support, opportunities for mentoring and training. We invite our Deaf friends to support our efforts through their critique, positive feedback, and analysis of ASL structure.
Curious - you know who Joanne Lamberton? (St. Louis MO last I heard)... I dont know where is Spokane MO... thought only spokane WA!! smile
and... curious... What are you looking for in a mentor? What kind of interpreter do you want to be? How hard are you willing to work to become a different interpreter than you are? (presumably - better - smile.. but I cant know that cuz I've never seen you work) and to be honest - You might be "good enough"... in which case, getting "better" would not necessarily be in your best interest.
If you're interested in talking about this with me - contact me privately.
either way - good luck on your journey.
Welcome! Join a group, start a group, post an upcoming event in your area, start your very own blog... share your knowledge, experience and opinion with other interpreters. Thanks for being a part of TerpLink.
Hi, Malissa. If you'd like to join TERP Group, just go to Yahoo, look for groups and search for TERP Group. You should be able to request an invitation, as I recall, and we will accept it. If you have a problem, please let me know.

I would like to add that I just found out that an unknown and unnamed blogger has plagiarized large sections of my writing without attribution. I am neither that blogger myself and I do not condone their actions.
