Presenters: E. Peige Turner

Peige Turner is my name and NERDterpreting is my game.
I’m a freelance interpreter (MICS 4) in the Kansas City area. I attended the ITP program at Maple Woods Community College in 1998 and little did I know, I found a community I never wanted to leave. I have a passion for people, which often lands me in unique environments. I love collecting new vocabulary from experiences and adding what I learned to my tool bag. Working as an interpreter out in the community is one of my favorite things, but teaching unique material to build on skills is a newfound passion. With every experience, comes acquired knowledge. My goal in teaching workshops is to get interpreters comfortable in unique situations for the fun of it. Remember, if it’s FUN, we should sign it!
