Working with Amanda …
Everything here — the cohorts, the sessions, the tools, the community — is one coherent invitation into a more intentional, sustainable, and connected way of working as an interpreter or interpreter educator. There are many doors in. You get to choose yours.
Feel free to email me at: arsmithstudios@gmail.com to discuss your particular needs
You teach interpreters — in programs, in supervision, in mentorship.
You want to bring more intention to how you develop others, not just what content you deliver. You’re looking for a framework and a community that gets the complexity of this work.
You’re in the field, building your practice, and you want to go deeper.
You know that skill alone isn’t what makes the difference. You want to develop your reflective capacity — to debrief well, to learn from assignments, to grow with intention.
You work in legal settings — or want to.
The demands of legal interpreting require a particular kind of preparation and presence. You’re looking for training and support that’s specific, serious, and grounded in real-world practice.
Four Ways to Work Together
Coaching with a Mentoring Mindset Series
The foundational CWMM cohort. Learn the framework for reflective, demand-control informed supervision with interpreters. This is where the language and the practice come together — in community, over time, with support.
Coaching with a Mentoring Mindset Series
Group coaching for interpreter educators. Monthly sessions that hold the complexity of teaching interpreters — the relational work, the curriculum work, the sustainability work. A community that actually gets what you do.
The Interpreter’s Sidebar
One focused session, just you and Amanda. Debrief a complex assignment, work through a teaching challenge, think out loud about something that’s been sitting with you. No package required. This is the low-stakes way in.
