Betty Colonomos, a heritage signer, has been an interpreter for over 70 years, and educating interpreters for over 40. From Brooklyn, New York originally, then on to New York University, and the University of Delaware, then on to Gallaudet University and the University of Southern Maine, Betty has watched the interpreting field grow from friends and neighbors helping out, into a recognized profession. Currently, she is invested in creating lively, interesting, and productive learning environments for all interpreters, including those from historically marginalized communities. She is also working on developing the next generation of educators who are able to understand the interpreting processes deeply, and who can then help others to discover their own understandings, and their own skills.
