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.
