About K. G. Interpreter Ltd

K. G. Interpreter Ltd is the trading name of Karen Green, Sign Language Interpreter.

Karen first started to learn British Sign Language (BSL) as an addition to her College Course in 1990.  She knew she eventually wanted to work with people and would therefore meet Deaf people so decided to learn BSL.  After completing 2 years of part time Sign Language study she embarked on full time training and studied Deaf Studies (Sign Language Interpreting) at Bristol University from 1992-1994.

After graduating from University Karen started to work part time as an interpreter whilst working full time at a school for the Deaf.  It was during these first years working part time as an interpreter she gained a wealth of experience working with the grass roots Deaf Community.

She went on to become a fully qualified interpreter in 2000 and now, as well as working as a self employed interpreter she has her own Sign Language Interpreter booking agency.

She is an active member of ASLI and is part of the Legal Task group and co writes the Fees and Salaries Report along with Zane Hema every few years.  She represents ASLI at both the Sign Language Interpreting Consultative group with the London Metropolitan Police and the Interpreter Working Group which is a national group of representatives of the British legal and judicial field as part of her role within the Legal Task Group.

As well as working as a community interpreter Karen also works as a conference and performance interpreter.  She has interpreted for many different styles of theatre but children and pantomime are among her favourites.

Karen mostly works within the South East of England but will accept work further away from home if accommodation is provided.
