Andrea M. Bright-Fontana, M.A., BEI Court, Master, IV, and RID NIC-Advanced. Andrea was a teacher at the Texas School for the Deaf for 6 years prior to deciding that interpreting was her true calling. She has worked professionally as an interpreter for over 20 years and specializes in mental health, post-secondary, medical, and legal interpreting. She and her husband and their 3 boys were foster parents for 8 years, and have adopted 3 beautiful Deaf daughters. Since becoming a foster/adoptive parent, she has recognized the need for more education in the interpreting field related to Child Protective Services (CPS) and working with children who have experienced trauma.
