PROFILE
Hello there! My name is Hannah Lawrence. I am a sign language interpreter in the state of North Carolina. I took the EIPA Oct 24th, 2023.
I have an EIPA score of 3.1. While I recognize it is not a 3.5, I am in the process of taking workshops and currently working in an elementary school so that my skills may sharpen and I can re-test as soon as possible.
I explore many creative avenues (poetry, painting, and thrifting) and enjoy spending time with my friends and family.

I currently work at an elementary school in another county. I tutor this student in the mornings. We focus on reading and grammar. The rest of the morning, the student sees other teachers for more one on one time and I interpret math, reading and writing. I interpret instruction time for ELA and math.

I served as an SLI and a one-on-one for one participant in a small classroom setting. This is a faith-based day program, so there are many activities. I interpreted life skills activities, science experiments, craft time, videos, games, visits to the library and bowling alley.

February 2024 – May 2024
I interpreted on a team of two interpreters for one student. The class was in the same room all day. There were many subjects covered, however, overall it was about health and life skills. Some things we talked about were sickness, first aid, drugs, relationships and well being.
