Abstract: This case study was conducted within a larger project designed to spotlight leaders in the interpreting community. I chose to recognize Autumn Esclovon, who is a respected and accomplished American Sign Language/English/Protactile interpreter, educator, and mentor. Her love for the DeafBlind community shines through all aspects of her work, and the lessons she has learned from individuals within this community influence the characteristics of leadership she cherishes the most. She is a kind and encouraging mentor who leads with respect and courage and encourages growth not only for herself but for those around her.
