Professional Statement



Being a court reporter is much harder than most would think.  Most people think of them as “the person typing on the weird looking keyboard.”  Although it is a challenging thing to learn, and master, I enjoy it.   I also look forward to being able to make good money and set my own hours.  

I do well working with people, as I have many years of experience working in sales and customer service.  I believe this will help me in this field because, even though a lot of time is spent listening to others, and taking down word for word what was said, you also have to “sell yourself” to make people want to work with you in the future, such as attorneys and judges.  I believe I have excellent organizational skills, and grammar which is also necessary in this field.

I hope to freelance, and then with more experience; possibly provide captioning services to be able to work from home.
