“For me, Dr. Marty Taylor epitomized the ideal instructor—she genuinely cared about my growth and development as both a person and
a future interpreter. Dr. Taylor did not ‘hand hold’, but rather she held out her hand as a way of inviting me to continue my journey. Her commitment to me never wavered
and in turn my confidence and my skills flourished. For this, I am very grateful! Marty makes time to mentor both novice and seasoned interpreters and acknowledges the learning
process as a two-way street. She has the unique capacity to cultivate a positive and optimistic environment that encourages people to share their thoughts and feel valued as
part of the larger group.”
