Consecutive Interpreter — Yoruba / Nigerian Pidgin English ↔ English - Informal

(2006)

Raised in a multilingual Nigerian household and community, regularly serving as an informal interpreter for elders and older relatives more comfortable communicating in Yoruba or Pidgin than English.

• Yoruba ↔ English: Providing consecutive interpretation since 2006 (18+ years).
• Nigerian Pidgin English ↔ English: Providing consecutive interpretation since 2010 (14+ years).
• Subject matter has included everyday family and community conversations, market and everyday transactions, and general appointments — accurately conveying meaning, tone, and intent in real time.
• Consistent, high-frequency practice across two decades has built strong active listening, memory retention, and on-the-spot rendering skills central to consecutive interpretation.
• Comfortable working between all three languages interchangeably depending on speaker and setting, a skill directly transferable to community-facing and customer support contexts.
