About Dawn Duran
Hi!
I am an American Sign Language interpreter holding RID NIC Advanced and RID SC: L certifications.
​
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development, with an emphasis on Language Development from Brigham Young University.
​
While there I met Deaf friends and fell in love with the community and language. I have been interpreting since January 1990 and have interpreted in almost every setting I can think of. I specialize in interpreting for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, mental health and substance dependence. I have also been a mentor, trainer and presenter for over 20 years.
​
I served on the RID Professional Development Committee for over 10 years and currently serve on the advisory committee for the Bridges program in Georgia.
