Lianne Moccia

Originally from Boston, Lianne Moccia’s first sign language class was at the Learning Center in Framingham, MA. Certified by RID in 1981 Lianne was fortunate that shortly thereafter Vermont colleagues brought her to The Bicultural Center in Maryland where she met MJ Bienvenu and Betty Colonomos. The Integrated Model of Interpreting has been the foundation of her work since.



Lianne’s community practice extends throughout VT and NH. Lianne was the founder of the Vermont Mentorship Project and served in various positions on the boards of both NHRID and VTRID. She has taught workshops throughout New England and beyond. Lianne coordinated the Etna Project NH from its inception in 2002 and she continues to be involved with The Bilingual Mediation Center and its many projects. This intensive commitment to and engagement with colleagues has provided her with a learning environment that permits, invites and encourages intellectual intimacy and growth.
