About Austin Beatty:

Austin has provided employment-related supports to the Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing communities since graduating from the St Paul College Interpreter Training Program in 2010. Starting out as an intern, he quickly knew this was the right path and decided to commit to a career in this field. After working with a few other employment agencies, he joined MEC in 2016. He has learned so much from coaching others in independence and advocacy and loves seeing people grow and develop their skills, while finding their own strength and power along the way.
Austin lives in St Paul with his partner and feline family. He enjoys gardening, finding new houseplants to bring home, riding his bike around town, hiking, reading, juggling, and lounging in his hammock.
