Maureen Denner

Sign Language Interpreting Program Director

While currently the Sign Language Interpreting Program Director, I started as a student in the program in 1990 when the program was still on the Northwest campus. I hold a MS in ASL/English Interpreting Pedagogy from the University of North Florida and have been a professional ASL/English Interpreter since 1992. I hold a BEI Advanced Certification. I began teaching with the program in 2017 and in my current position since Fall 2024.

I have been a full-time Instructional Assistant with the ASL/Interpreting Learn Center since 2014. I specialize in tutoring students in sign language and helping them to achieve their goals. I have a lot of positive and tireless energy to encourage others to work hard in school and succeed. In my free time, I like to cook and explore adventures.

Sheila Grady

Tutor

I am very excited to be here at TCC’s ASL/Interpreting Learning Center.  I have been an advocate for the deaf and hard of hearing community for about 40 years to ensure effective communication takes place. I am new to ASL Tutoring and love it. I look forward to tutoring TCC students to embrace the ASL language and facilitating it to its potential.

I came from a large Deaf family and have been teaching ASL over the years. I specialize in tutoring students in sign language and helping them to achieve their goals. I love working with students and watch them understand the concept of our language! In my free time, I enjoy being with my family, my three boys and my husband, also being with my animals! I enjoy being with my deaf friends, playing games, shopping and making crafts with them!
