So I'm a tad obsessed with Case CATalyst. There are worse things; right?
I got my start in court reporting school in 1993 but left school shortly after
to get married and start a family. After taking more than a few years off, I
still had the drive for a career in court reporting and enrolled once again in
school mid-2003. While in school, I provided CART assistance for the hard
of hearing at San Joaquin Delta College and California State University,
Stanislaus.
In 2005 I became a licensed CSR and later obtained my RPR certification
from NCRA. I began working as a pro tem court reporter and spent some
time freelancing before joining Stanislaus County Superior Court two
years later. My little obsession for Case CATalyst has grown since then,
and I enjoy training other court reporters to master the software for
themselves.
I am a firm believer in the value of continuous learning. My most recent
endeavor was pursuing education in Voice Writing. In August 2023, I enrolled
in a specialized program, and by early 2024, I successfully obtained both the
CVR certification from the National Verbatim Reporters Association (NVRA)
and the California Certified Shorthand Reporter (CSR) certification for Voice
Writing.
