Dr. LeWana Clark has been the American Sign Language interpreter for the BGMC since 1989. She graduated from Gallaudet University in Washington D.C. with a doctorate in sign language interpreting and translation with specializations in pedagogy and research. Dr. Clark creates a unique interpretation that incorporates not only the lyrics that are sung but also the tone and musical qualities of the melody. In her day job, she provides communication access services for deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, and nondeaf consumers in Boston, across the Commonwealth, nationally, and internationally. Although she spends most of her time working in court or in other legal settings, she is also qualified to interpret in medical, mental health, governmental, educational and theatrical/performing arts settings.
