Hidden Talent
Not really “hidden”, but I sing and play the piano.
If court reporting didn't exist, I’d be...
I guess I would still be working my 60+ hour a week job doing mortgage loans and would still be miserable. I am still working my mortgage loan thing, although I started my own company when I started school which makes things not quite so bad!
Secret desire -
To be the NCRA president one day.
Best advice I've ever received -
Anything worth doing or having is worth waiting for.
I love court reporting because...
I love “Law and Order”! Seriously, if I hadn’t stumbled across court reporting, I was going to go to law school and I was taking classes to get my degree to be able to transfer to law school. I just think this job is so much cooler than even an attorney will be because I’ll be able to meet so many people and hear about so many different things.
When I have 2 spare hours, I...
Take a nap! I know, I know – I’m working on this, but most times, I just want to go to bed. Between running my company, taking care of my kids, doing a REALLY bad job at housekeeping, taking care of the dogs, going to church, etc – I really just want a nap!
Favorite singer, musician or group
I don’t think I have a favorite!
In 5 years I will be...
In a “perfect” world, I will be a jet-set court reporter who gets to go to Australia and the Bahamas to take work while managing my mortgage processing company that has grown to be the largest SOUTHERN mortgage processing company.
How I discovered court reporting -
Well, my mom actually discovered it before I did and after watching what it was and hearing everything she was learning, I decided it was time for a change, and this was “soo COOOL”!
Favorite Movie
The Matrix Trilogy
Favorite TV Show
Law and Order and All of the CSIs
Best Court Reporting Tip -
Just “RELAX AND BREATHE”!!!
Anything you want to add about yourself
I am a single mom doing my best to make it in this field. I know this isn’t for everyone, but I think that everyone who does this should feel that it is FOR THEM. I don’t see this as a “job”, but as a career choice, an identity, a calling.
