Penny Slater
I am a mother of 5, 3 whom suffer from Marfans Syndrome, a chromosome disorder they inherited from their father. My husband has been through a lot and is a great inspiration to me.
The last few years I have been a volunteer interpreter for many events in the valley in which I live. My partners have been a graduate of the interpreting program at Palomar and an extremely gifted educational interpreter. I have been very blessed. I have interpreted in middle school since April 2003. My goal is to become a talented and effective interpreter.
When I am not interpreting or at doctor’s appointments with my family, I enjoy being a grandmother, studying the bible, cooking and motorcycle riding with my husband.
