This last year I continued to do research and continued to work as a college student, but most importantly I continued  to work with a few others to get Vocalize Columbus, a nonprofit dedicated to helping connect volunteer medical interpreters with hospitals that need their services, off the ground.  Going through the process of not only working with other organizations and individuals in the field to determine how we should operate, but actually doing the legal and logistical legwork to get the organization off the ground, has been an amazing experience, and has taught me so much.  I’m incredibly excited to continue working within the organization as its president and as one of its interpreters.
