Makeba Orr Smith was a nationally certified interpreter, speech pathologist, and child of a Deaf adult (CODA). Everyone in our field loved her bubbly personality.
Makeba was passionate about elevating more minority interpreters to nationally certified status. She was also motivated more than ever to improve her own skills.
Her excellence and passion for this work is inspiring. The dedication to expanding minority representation in our field is a noble cause. The SOS Agency has decided to honor her legacy by creating a scholarship that will mentor and fund minority interpreters to become nationally certified.
Yes! As long as you submit your work sample by the deadline, your application will still be accepted.

Dana plans to take her test in the next year!

When Dana’s not at working, she loves a good crafty, DIY project to rest her mind!
