Cheri became interested in sign language when she accepted a temporary secretarial assignment at NTID in 1981. After taking sign language classes and obtaining a permanent staff position at NTID, she enrolled in the NTID interpreter preparation program. She has over 20 years of experience as a professional interpreter, including postsecondary settings, religious settings, conferences, and seven years as personal interpreter and administrative assistant to Dr. Robert Davila, NTID’s first Deaf CEO.
Upon Dr. Davila’s retirement from RIT, Cheri accepted a position as Self Instruction Lab Coordinator, which later evolved into her current role as Lab Coordinator in the ASLIE department.
Cheri published an article on the visual needs of deaf students in the Journal of the Academy of Rehabilitative Audiology.
Her current interpreting practice consists of worship services, meetings, and counseling appointments at church.
Cheri enjoys cross stitch and playing the hammered dulcimer.
