RaVen is a wonderful Master Tutor and extremely friendly person. In the year I have worked with her, she has helped me hone my skills, graduate my Interpreter Training Program, and move on my way towards becoming a certified interpreter.
RaVen is great with all of her students, providing them with meaningful and beneficial outside experience, and is a perfect tutor for any level of signer!

Testimonial by Megan Warnke
My score before working with you was only a 37%. So in two months I went up by 16%. That is an amazing feat in itself. I am proud of my growth and progress. Here are my plans. I am going to continue to tutor with you. I think you are amazing. You have brought out a confidence in me that I haven't seen in many years. You have given me the confidence to take the EIPA. Before tutoring with you I would have never even thought that I would be ready or even think I could be ready to take the EIPA. Thank you!

Testimonial from a web-cam ASL Interpreting Student Nicole Barnes
Just wanted to say Hello! I am now learning to interpret for a small ASL class for a friend and although it was nervewracking, I did it! Thanks to the opportunity of watching you interpret, I felt so impressed - it inspired me to do the best I can.

Testimonial from University of Northern Colorado ASL Interpreting Student: Karen Bradley
As a senior in one of the only online bachelor's programs for ASL-English interpreting in the nation, I work with RaVen in order to ensure my interpreting quality. Working with her has benefitted me in numerous ways. One activity that we use to improve my skills is to interpret TED Talks. This past week I interpreted a TED Talk from which RaVen gave me constructive feedback that allowed me to think about my interpreting process and production. In addition, RaVen then interpreted the same text to show me a more visual and ASL production. I recognized my strengths and weaknesses through seeing her work and we were able to discuss the various aspects of the interpretations. This process has helped me greatly and I look forward to continue working with RaVen.
