Allison Jordan

Director of Interpreting Services

Allison Jordan is a national certified interpreter who graduated from Siena Heights University in 2013 with a BS in American Sign Language/English Interpreting, followed by a Masters of American Sign Language/ English Interpreting in 2018. However, her foundation for professional interpreting began with the strong foundation the Florida State College at Jacksonville’s Interpreter Training Program provided her in 2012. She holds her National Interpreter Certification (NIC) and Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA) with a level 4.8. When she is not working, Allison enjoys spending time with her family, running around at the dog park with her pup, and all things CrossFit.

The Coordinators

Andrés Velandia

Coordinator

Andrés Velandia has worked for Interpretek in Orlando, FL for more than three years as an Educational Program Instructor/Deaf Interpreter/PT-ASL. He has worked as a Deaf/Deafblind interpreter and an instructor of ASL and Colombian Sign Language for 20 years.

His passions are teaching ASL and working as a community interpreter. In Andrés’ free time, he enjoys traveling the world, working on various arts and crafts creations, and watching Broadway shows.

Helen Cuzzolino

Coordinator

Helen Cuzzolino started with Interpretek in 2022 as an Interpreting Services Coordinator. She graduated from Florida State College of Jacksonville in 2022 with an A.S. in ASL/English interpreting.

However, her love and passion for ASL and the Deaf community began much earlier than 2022. Helen is a child of a Deaf adult (CODA), so her exposure to the Deaf community and use of ASL essentially began right at birth. Helen provides a unique perspective to the coordination process due to her diverse background.

Interpretek hosted an Ethical Decision-Making Workshop

Presented by Andrés Velandia, the workshop discussed the relevant factors that guide American Sign Language Interpreters through ethical decision-making processes using such guides as the RID CPC and the guiding principle of “Do no harm.”
