Chadd Navejar is a graduate of Columbus State Community College’s Interpreter Education Program. He has 3 years of interpreting experience, primarily in the Video Relay setting. As well as, K-12, Post-Secondary, and in the workplace. He has volunteer interpreting experience with the DeafBlind community and Religious settings.

Chadd comes from a tight knit Deaf family which has provided him with a passion for ASL, accessible communication, and unique second hand experiences of the many obstacles Deaf people can face. Through his work, he intends to be recognized for his respect, accuracy, and trust. One of Chadd’s favorite quotes is, “an interpreter should never leave an assignment knowing more than the consumer,” and he uses that as a standard for his work.
