Terra C. Benton
Team Leader
Tampa, FL
Terra@signs-of-development.org

Greetings from Tampa! Well in a nutshell, I graduated from the University of Tennessee Interpreter Training Program in December 1999. I moved to NC and became RID certified in August 2001. I have been working as a freelance interpreter ever since. My husband and I relocated to Tampa in June of 2006 and we love the weather! My newest professional adventure includes me working as a VRS agent. Talk about daily challengesJ!

Although I am the newest member of the Signs of Development team, I quickly saw a place of creativity. This company is all about providing products that interpreters actually need. I love being involved in the future of the profession and I truly see Signs of Development in that light.


Lisa Uvietta Serna
CEU's Coordinator
Pipe Creek, Texas
ceus@signs-of-development.org

My primary responsibility is processing requests for CEUs and requests for sponsored workshops.
By day, I am an Assistant to the Registrar at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (for over 25 years). By night (and sometimes weekends!), I work on CEU requests. I started working for Signs August 2006. It's a joy to work for my “old” friend Lynne. She and I have known each other for over 40 years (so we refer to each other as my “oldest” friend). I am enjoying the interaction with professionals in the highly regarded field of interpreting for the deaf.
