Jessica Harrison Candidate for Certification Vice President jharrison@frontierhealth.org Jessica is the program coordinator for the Communication Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Johnson City.  She became interested in sign language as a toddler when her father worked at the newspaper and had several deaf friends.  She learned printer’s slang signs long before ASL, but now she is currently awaiting the results of her NIC Interview & Performance exam.  Jessica works in a variety of settings as a community interpreter.  Interpreting is her passion, and she feels blessed to be able to serve the deaf community in that capacity.

Janette Gaines Certified TypeWell Transcriptionist Treasurer janette37@embarqmail.com Janette took ASL in a Florida college 15 years ago.  Since that time, she has remained active in the Deaf community and continued her education in the language and Deaf culture.  Janette’s experience includes educational and freelance interpreting as well as sign language instruction.  After discovering her love for live theatre 5 years ago, Janette formed a theatrical troupe at the Jonesborough Repertory Theatre called Stage Hands, which introduces hearing children to the beauty of ASL and Deaf culture.  The parent of HOH daughters, Janette has also been an active advocate for Deaf/HOH.
