I have been in the court reporting field since 1990 and have enjoyed participating in the official arena, the freelance market, and the service aspect by providing realtime translation services for the deaf/hard of hearing populace. Court reporting has taught me about being an entrepreneur and how important customer service is. Deposition reporting, especially complex corporate litigation and medical malpractice cases, offer the opportunity for me to work with highly skilled litigators and to continually expand my vocabulary. I am typically an early adopter of new technology when it is introduced.I am certified at the highest level in both machine shorthand (RDR) and voice writing (CVR-CM-M) and also certified as a reporting instructor. I am a four-time gold medalist of Intersteno's Speech Capturing competition using speech recognition technology (voice writing), having successfully defended my 2013 Ghent Gold medal at the 2015 Intersteno competition in Budapest, the 2017 competition in Berlin, and the 2019 competition in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy.I am committed to ensuring that there is a good rapport with all members of the litigation team, including the paralegals, legal secretaries, attorneys, and court reporters. For over 10 years I have been delivering educational programs to a variety of court reporter audiences on topics including using technology to make the best record, business practices, time management, and led court reporter round tables.I am a contributing author in national trade magazines and a frequent contributor to professional forums.I love what I do every day, and I hope that you can tell.SPECIALTIES:Corporate litigation and medical malpractice deposition reporting, court transcription, court per diem reporting, hearing and meeting reporting, expedited transcript delivery, encrypted electronic transcript delivery, litigation support services.
