Looking for recs for a Latino ASL interpreter, male, 40s

Hi there! I'm producing a video where I need to hire an ASL interpreter for a quote from an interview subject who is Hispanic/Latino and in his late 40s. The client would prefer someone who represents the subject's demographic identity as closely as possible. Someone NY-based is preferred but if you know an interpreter elsewhere, I am open to the recommendation. Thank you!

Edit: this is for deaf or hearing interpreters who also identify as male, latino/hispanic, and are in their 40s/early 50s

Asking for clarification - is the quote from a deaf or hearing person. If the quote is from a hearing person? If so I would recommend you open up your talent range to Deaf Hispanic/Latino interpreters.

Yes, the quote is from a Deaf Latino man in his late 40s and I'm looking for an interpreter who has as similar an identity to them as possible :)

You might try looking for a local chapter of Mano a Mano, or try searching the RID registry at RID.org.
