Our name
Why Rose? In antiquity, the rose symbolized confidentiality and privacy. It acted as a “do-not-disturb” sign when placed on tables in meeting houses, hence the Latin term Sub-Rosa. Confidentiality is the #1 priority for most people who use interpreting services, and we uphold the strictest privacy standards possible and in keeping with The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf’s Code of Professional Conduct.
Today, the rose is a well-known symbol of passion. In this field, passion is what brings most of us to work every day. Our passions for serving our community, for language and for people drive our careers.
About Rachel Rose
Rachel (“Rae”) is the proud owner of Rose Interpreting. A family friend introduced her to deafness and sign language as a child. She was amazed when she saw that interpreting could make a difference even for children.
She always knew she’d become an interpreter, but she also strongly believed that she should serve her country. At 18, she enlisted in the US Navy. Stationed on the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), she attained the rank of Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class (E5) and served during the 9-11 attacks.
After the Navy, she came home to study interpreting. In 2006 she graduated from Pikes Peak Community College in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She’s a certified interpreter holding BEI: Advanced certification and the Colorado authorization for K-12 educational interpreting.
