Employee Spotlight on Judy Thomas



HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED WITH CAP? I have worked with CAP since April 2006.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD ON THE ROAD? Fast food is Subway... sit down is Olive Garden

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE JOB? The variety and changing venues

WHAT HOBBIES DO YOU ENJOY? Society for Creative Anachronism (Medival Recreation), ferret rescue and crotcheting

WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE ABOUT INTERPRETING? Ignorant people who dont understand what we do.

HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH INTERPRETING? I needed a foreign language requirement in college and fell in love with the language.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT WORKING FOR CAP? I love the people I work with. The office staff supports me and so do the other interpreters.

SHARE AN INTERPRETING BLOOPER. Getting a phone call for a person who's last name was clearly Spanish but is deaf. I automatically assumed that Mary had called the wrong interpreter.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A NEW INTERPRETER IN THE FIELD?
Try it all. Give it your best shot and be willing to make a mistake because we are not perfect.

FAVORITE QUOTE: "Give me the chocolate and no one gets hurt!"
