I would be glad to work with you. Will e-mail you privately to discuss the details.
In response to your question posed to Robb about what makes TerpLink.com different; this site is completely independent from any VRS provider, interpreting agency, etc. You are free to create a public or private discussion group. The site is full of great Ajax web technology so that you do not have to refresh the entire page everytime. There is a chat room tucked away down to the right of the browser. There is not much activity there yet but with time and a topic it should prove beneficial.
I would welcome your feedback and suggestions on we, including yourself, can make TerpLink something of value.
For example, I see you have indicated you would like to be mentored by another interpreter. Hover your mouse over the Colleagues menu, click Mentors and you'll be presented with all of the fellow interpreters here who have indicated they would like to mentor another interpreter. Strike up a conversation with one of them and set about a virtual mentoring. Upload your video practice, asking for feedback, critic your own work.
Most of all, meet your colleagues and enjoy the great work we do.
