My Story
My name is Jonathan Holmes. I was born and raised on the southwest side of Tucson, Arizona. I fell in love with fine arts and was involved in orchestra and drama throughout my school years and even continued into adulthood, acting in community theatre productions and playing violin and viola in community orchestras. I fell in love with American Sign Language (ASL) when I took classes at Tucson High School which eventually lead to me majoring in Interpreting in college. Each of these aspects of my life has given me a unique experience and perspective for interpreting for the Deaf community in the city where I grew up.

Career Profile

I started my interpreting career in 2016 as an educational interpreter through Arizona State School for the Deaf and Blind. I worked 1-on-1 with an assigned student every day in public schools where there was typically only 1 or 2 Deaf students at each school. I had the privilege of working with a variety of students of various backgrounds and accessibility needs in all ages K-12. During this time, I was volunteering services to make free community events more accessible such as Tucson Pride and various drag shows and theatrical productions around the city. After obtaining certification and my AZ state license to work outside of the education realm, I began to dip my toes in the water and found I loved working in a variety of other settings. After 8 years as a K-12 educational interpreter, I decided to become a full-time community freelance interpreter. My favorite settings to interpret in are social and government services, community events (especially LGBTQIA+ and Latine events), performance, and education (both K-12 and postsecondary).
