Sarah Kurtz, Owner

Sarah has had a passion for signing since she saw firsthand how access to effective communication changed everything for a high school friend. It is then that she became determined to help others in their ability to communicate. She started learning the language through night classes and later earned a Bachelors's of Science degree in American Sign Language from William Woods University. 

Now, more than 25 years later, Sarah has been blessed with opportunities to impact thousands of lives through a multitude of interpreting experiences as well as nearly 20 years in leadership roles. She holds a Master's-level Missouri Interpreter Certification System (MICS) and is registered to serve in Missouri and Kansas.  Personally, she and her husband live in a small farming community in Northwest Missouri, have two grown children and enjoy traveling.

As the owner of Able Hands, Sarah is committed to leading a company of exceptionally talented Interpreters that empower the Deaf community by ensuring effective communication in all areas of life. Able Hands' team of certified and licensed Interpreters are committed to providing professional, accurate, and culturally-sensitive interpretation to meet the diverse needs of our participants.

Able Hands Interpreting Services has been providing excellent service for over 20 years and is committed to doing so well into the future. Sarah is honored to provide for your needs and looks forward to many more years serving communities throughout the region.
