Hi everybody!

I'm an Italian student, I've been studying in the US for a year and I am currently majoring in interpretation and translation in Italy.
I'm approaching the italian sign language (LIS) after getting close to the ASL a couple years ago and subsequently fell in love with it. My biggest aim for the future would be to become an English and ASL interpreter but I have some doubts concerning what would be the best way to do so.
Would it be good for me to get a 'certificate' -or something like that- here in Italy and then moving abroad? Do you think that switching from one sign language to the other would be too difficult? Is it possible for a non-native English speaker to become an ASL interpreter or would it be too hard to find a job?

thank you in advance for your precious help
