After interpreting voluntarily for several years, I have finally achieved the certification as a Community Interpreter. I have my CILISAT certification. This means I can officially start receiving payment for my interpreting services (French to English and English to French). You can’t even imagine my excitement. After dreaming of doing this for so many years, I am finally living my dream. When I think of how this came about, all I can say is persistence and hard work pay off. I took courses, learned from other interpreters and read books. Not giving up is key to achieving our goals.
In addition, practice makes perfect, so volunteering is a good way to kick-start the process. I remember volunteering for organizations such as Jaku Konbit, St. Paul’s university, University of Ottawa, All Nations full gospel church, Club Mount Cameroon, Malaika TV, Glomedia inc. and Kilimandjaro radio, have helped hone my interpreting skills over the years.
Being success driven does not mean you should strive for perfection, but take all the steps to achieve the goal. Do not despise the days of small beginnings and strive for greatness. There is greatness on the inside of you.
Now, I just need to practice and continuously improve my skills and abilities to be the best interpreter I could be. Therefore, friends, do not give up on your dreams, for there is a green light at the end of the tunnel. Contact me should you require interpreting services at your events, meetings, conferences, etc.
Have a blessed week!

Tati I wish you a lot of success, happiness and prosperity in what you’re achieving.
Je te l’ai jamais dit et je vais te le dire maintenant, c’est grâce à toi que je suis entrée dans le CMC, car j’ai vu en toi une femme de caractère, de valeur et une femme qui a su s’imposer dans chaque situation. Et tout cela je l’ai observé à travers ton parcours brillant à L’université d’Ottawa. J’ai déjà eu à travailler avec toi notamment lorsque nous préparions notre gala qui s’est tenu à Ottawa je crois en 2016, et j’ai vu une femme qui a de la poigne, qui sait diriger et j’aime ça. Merci d’avoir été mon inspiration, et sur la continuité de ce qui a été dit plus haut, je te souhaite un heureux et long mariage, que le Seigneur protège ta petite famille, et t’aide à accomplir davantage tout ce dont tu désires.
Bisous 😘
