Favorite Food
Everything, but if I have to pick, anything ethnic (you know, not your standard meat and potatoes, although I like that, too!)
If court reporting didn't exist, I’d be...
Working in a “people position” in corporate America.
Greatest non-court reporting achievement -
Running my first marathon last year.
Hidden Talent
I was a cake decorator for 8 years.
Secret desire -
To sing in a band. Then again, one has to be able to sing, doesn’t one?
Best advice I've ever received -
Life is not a destination, it’s a journey. Enjoy it along the way. No mistakes, no regrets, just life lessons.
I love court reporting because...
It’s challenging. I like pushing myself beyond what I think I can do (see marathon comment above).
When I have 2 spare hours, I...
Either weight training and aerobic exercise – or – sit in front of the TV catching up on TiVo’d shows and eating!
Favorite singer, musician or group
Love classic rock and 70’s music. Boy, am I dating myself.
In 5 years I will be...
Reporting dammit!
How I discovered court reporting -
Was the 12th juror picked for a criminal trial (attempted murder of a policeman) in Oakland, CA. The whole process and trial was fascinating. I sat in the jury box right behind the court reporter. I was intrigued and thought, “I can do that”. Now here I am, giving it a go!
Favorite Movie
I’m a kid at heart. I loved the original Harry Potter.
Favorite TV Show
It’s a toss up between House, Scrubs, and Desperate Housewives.
Best Court Reporting Tip -
Have integrity and follow through on your word. Don’t be a flake. Be professional.
