Hello,  

My name is Sandra Dee Battista.  I was born and raised in Ohio.  I have been married for 38 years and have 3 sons.  

As a CODA, it has always been my passion to serve in the Deaf Community.  I became a certified Interpreter in 2000.  I have been an Educational Interpreter since 2000 and have been a part time interpreter at Savannah College of Art and Design since 2013.  I also have a background in Human Resources, and my husband and I have owned several restaurants. 

It is an honor and pleasure to serve on the GaRID Board as a MAL during the 2022-2023 term.
