Massachusetts, CI, CT

Hi, I’m Brianne Hersey, this is my sign name. I grew up in NJ, for 2 years in my 20s I lived in CA, & now I live in MA. Currently I’m central/west in Amherst, but soon will be moving to Pittsfield in the Berkshires. I grew up with Deaf; my mom learned SEE to interpret church services for her friend’s Deaf husband. I learned SEE, then in college at my ITP learned ASL. I feel comfortable using both SEE & ASL. For about 10 years, I was involved in an ASL congregation (“church”) teaching the Bible to Deaf & HoH individuals, helping some learn sign, etc. My husband & I have moved & traveled to help in different areas. I feel I offer a lot. I specialize a little in mental health having worked on a Deaf unit at a Psychiatric Hospital in NJ for many years. I took their trainings & other mental health workshops. I don’t mind medical interpreting. I love to interpret college courses. I used to interpret in the school system at the middle & high school levels, & occasionally in the elementary school. I interpret in a variety of settings. That’s me!
