Ivy started IB Interpreting in 2009: driven by a deep appreciation for the Deaf community and recognizing a gap in personalized interpreting services in Hampton Roads, she founded a company dedicated to putting consumers first. Her goal was to create a service where clients always know who to expect, ensuring a highly personal and consistent experience.

In the years following, IB has prioritized building strong relationships between interpreters and consumers, enhancing communication and trust throughout the greater Hampton Roads area, Virginia, and North Carolina.

As the business grew, Ivy brought Kallie onto the team as a working interpreter and partner. With Kallie’s deep knowledge of the Hampton Roads area and fresh perspective, she seamlessly complemented Ivy’s skills. This addition allowed Ivy to shift her focus away from managing and dedicate more time to interpreting, ensuring the agency continued to provide high-quality ASL services across Virginia and North Carolina.
