Marc Navejar is a recent graduate of Columbus State Community College’s Interpreter Education Program. He has 5 years of interpreting experience, primarily in the Video Relay setting, as well as, K-12, Post-Secondary, medical, platform, performance and in the workplace. He has volunteer interpreting experience with the DeafBlind community and in Religious settings. He also volunteers with Deaf World Against Violence Everywhere (DWAVE).

Marc comes from a tight-knit Deaf family and community which has unknowingly fueled his passion for providing accessible communication in ASL and English. Through this unique first and second-hand experience of the many obstacles Deaf people can face, he wants to be recognized for his compassion, respect, equality, and accuracy, on top of building trust through his work and with everyone he meets and works with. He continues to grow his knowledge by learning about anything and everything he can because he believes as an interpreter you need to have at least a basic understanding of what you’re interpreting.
