Lynne Bouknecht graduated from SPC’s Associate in Science in Sign Language Interpretation program and was kind enough to share her internship experience with us.

“Throughout my internship experience at SPC, I had the opportunity to interpret in a variety of settings that I never would have dreamed of stepping foot into given my “student status.” With encouragement both from my internship instructor and my mentor at my internship site, my interpreting skills blossomed in a way that I never thought possible. Through weekly evaluation forms, I was able to keep track of my mentor’s perception of my performance and see my growth in action. I am so thankful for the opportunities I was given during my internship experience, and even more thankful for my internship instructor and my mentor. With their guidance and feedback, I was able to tap into my “inner interpreter” and realize that I do belong in this field. As a result of my positive internship experience, I was offered a job from the agency I interned with. I am looking forward to everything the future holds, but will never forget about where I learned to fly.” – Lynne Bouknecht; Received employment at LSS Interpreting Agency
