HOUSF TEAM

Haley Eyster received a bachelor’s degree in Communication Science and Disorders with a concentration in Interpreter Training (ITT) and a minor in Criminology from the University of South Florida in 2015. Since that time, she has worked in a variety of settings including performing arts, K-12, VRS, medical, mental health, conference, and post-secondary. Haley holds her National Interpreter Certification (NIC) as well as an Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA). In the interest of being a mentor to future interpreters, Haley attended St. Catherine’s University (Catie Center) Mentor Training Program. In addition to receiving training from the Catie Center, she also sought extensive training in medical interpreting which led to her receiving a Certificate in Healthcare Interpreting (CHI) from RIT/NTID. Haley’s current goals are to continue her education and seek a master’s degree.
