“I trained and registered as a Sign Language Interpreter (RSLI) in 2005. One year on, almost to the day – I felt like I had achieved my big goal but was still not quite satisfied with the impact that I had made. I still found myself frustrated at the lack of ethically run Interpreting Agencies.”
terptree was officially born! ‘terp’ short for Interpreter and ‘tree’ just because Victoria loves trees.
terptree’s ambitions have grown substantially, since starting out providing Sign Language Interpreting Services.
With a mission to create an inclusive world for deaf people, terptree supports some of the largest global brands and public services affecting change by creating a world class deaf employee and customer experience.
“I started learning British Sign Language (BSL) at the age of 13, when my cousin Max was diagnosed as profoundly Deaf.
The moment I started signing and became involved in the Deaf community; going to deaf clubs and volunteering at various charity events, I immediately felt a part of the community.
Max is always at the heart of what we do at terptree. The daily barriers that he faces accessing the world acts as a deep-rooted motivation for me and our team. We truly care about about creating a world in which deaf people can exist equally to hearing people.
My strong connection with the deaf community brings a real understanding of the issues that are faced.
This knowledge and experience enables us at terptree to help implement the unique but simple solutions to make real change happen.”
