Shelly Tisius
FOUNDER/CEO/STAFF INTERPRETER
Secondly, I am a lover of human services. I’ve worked in the service industry since 1995, and I cannot imagine any other career in which to spend my time. I am a lifelong learner primarily studying internal and external customer service continuously adapting and striving for excellence in service. The Deaf community is truly unique, and I feel so lucky to be a part of the community and practicing such a fun language.

Sarah Blasko
SCHEDULING COORDINATOR
I am excited and grateful to be the newest staff member here at MT & Associates. I started my career in education by getting a Bachelor’s Degree in Deaf Education, became a teacher, and realized quickly that I wanted to shift my focus to interpreting. I graduated in December 2020 from STLCC-Florissant Valley, and will hopefully be BEI certified very soon. I am also a forever learner and will most likely find myself going back for my Masters in the not too distant future.
In my free time, I enjoy trying new restaurants, making puzzles, and spending time with my guinea pigs, Macie and Olivia. I feel blessed to be a part of the Deaf/HOH and Interpreting communities, and I look forward to connecting personally with all of you soon!
