Hidden Talent
I can lie on my back, put both legs behind my head and play the drums on my bum (always good for making a sad person laugh or at least eliciting a look of sheer bewilderment).
If court reporting didn't exist, I’d be...
Dodging my student loan officer for the next 50+ years.
Greatest non-court reporting achievement -
Packing two bags, moving to New York, taking dance classes, selling hot dogs to tourists at the top of the Empire State Building, all the while subsisting on leftover hot dogs and popcorn and using my oven as a heater. (Geez, if only I lived in a van I’d be Jewel)
Secret desire -
To own my own bookstore.
Best advice I've ever received -
“Smell it before you eat it.”
I love court reporting because...
It gives me an air of mystery.
When I have 2 spare hours, I...
Watch forensic science shows, read a book, lie in the recliner and fall into a coma, torment my dog with a game of “chase the laser beam up the living room wall”
Favorite singer, musician or group
Tori Amos, Bjork, Radiohead, more Tori Amos
In 5 years I will be...
-- the boss of me.
How I discovered court reporting -
I graduated university with Psychology and Social Work degrees and then had an epiphany that I, in fact, don’t like working with people. Frantic internet research ensued – and the rest is history.
Favorite Movie
Pulp Fiction; Donnie Darko; Amelie
Favorite TV Show
Aside from the forensic shows: Adult Swim; Simpsons; Arrested Development; Daily Show w/ J.S.
Best Court Reporting Tip -
If you are overcome with the overwhelming urge to throw your machine out of the window –it’s all right; you’re on the right track. (Just don’t cry directly on the leather keypads; it dries them out.)
Anything you want to add about yourself
I ramble. I’m a smidge sarcastic. I like to clean (but keep that on the down low). I’m always here to help with a shoulder or an ear.
