ASL Interpreters & Online-Based Sign Language Classes in Atlanta

Adam Black works as an interpreter coordinator for the Interpretek Atlanta office. He graduated from Georgia College and State University in 2012 with a BA in Criminal Justice and a minor in Women’s Studies.

Adam was born and raised on the outskirts and more rural part of metro Atlanta. He met his wife, who is an interpreter, in 2012 and through her was introduced to more and more interpreters and people in the Deaf community.

In 2017, shortly after Interpretek acquired SLIS, Adam was brought in to be the overnight interpreter coordinator. He worked overnights until summer of 2019, when he shifted over to daylight hours in order to help with the workload. While he never worked as a coordinator prior to Interpretek, he has plenty of experience in a fast-paced, high stress environment both as a team leader as well as support member. Adam’s approach and philosophy to working on the desk is trying to find humor in whatever is happening, even if it’s laughing at how crazy things can get.

Chezon Jackson-Thompson’s love of sign language began at an early age, which lead to her to pursue learning ASL first from books and then though interaction with the deaf community. She graduated from the Sign Language Interpreting program at Georgia Perimeter College in 2012.

Chezon started her career at Intepretek in 2022 as a Coordinator. She brings over a decade of coordinating and database experience working with companies such as Coca-Cola Bottling Company and US Foods. Her hobbies include reading, writing poetry, jewelry making and paper crafts. Her poetry has been published in multiple anthologies.
