“I graduated in the USA with a degree in Court Reporting in 1994. After passing both the Illinois and Missouri Certified Shorthand Reporter examinations at 225 wpm I worked as a freelance Court Reporter taking depositions in both Federal and Civil Court proceedings.  I am currently working as a Court Reporter in the UK taking American depositions as well as working on freelance assignments.  I have passed the Level 2 CACDP examinations on my way to becoming a Registered Speech-to-Text Reporter and I am looking forward to gaining my Level 3 qualifications and furthering my career."

"I started my verbatim reporting career in 1977.  I worked for 12 years as a Pitman shorthand writer, principally in the Crown Court.  I then retrained and qualified as a Stenographer in 1990.  From 1993 until 2006, I worked in live TV subtitling. It was a challenging and exciting field and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  I now work mainly with deafened people as a verbatim speech to text reporter. 

"e;I am proud to be a member of AVSTTR.  I am CACDP registered and a member of BIVR.  I feel very lucky to have a job that I love.  I enjoy the sheer variety of my work and no day is ever the same."
