"One of the best career decisions I made was to attend DACR, where upon graduation I felt I was completely prepared for the real world of court reporting.  While many question the future of our profession, I believe our future looks bright and court reporters are here to stay.  I love being a court reporter and enjoy telling others what a great profession it is."

"I sit with a deaf or hearing-impaired college student and use my court reporting machine and software to convert what the professor is saying into English so the student can read it on my computer screen as the class is going on.  Some of the things I enjoy the most are the flexibility, meeting all kinds of new and different people, the different schedules every semester, getting to know different schools and campuses.  I love every single minute of what I do."

"I am doing CART.  I really, really like it.  I really like the college environment, and I love being of assistance to these incredible students!  I am also negotiating to work with another author.  Using steno, I had previously completed one book and am hopeful to get this one as well."
