About
Whether in Abu Dhabi or Arusha, Paris or Prague, the world has long been my workplace as a freelancing realtime stenographer.
I provide the same high-quality services whether I am appearing in person or remotely.
I have extensive experience delivering realtime and transcription services for:
• US depositions (pharma, patent, telecoms, technology)
• Canadian discovery examinations
• United Nations tribunals
• International arbitrations (ICC, UNCITRAL, ICSID, LCIA)
• Court hearings, both UK and international
• Captioning (Microsoft, Apple, trade unions, arts & culture, family court)
I have been reporting since 1992, having trained in Brisbane, Australia (my hometown) throughout 1990/1991. I am certified in Australia, the UK, and the US, having achieved the US certifications of RPR (Registered Professional Reporter), CRR (Certified Realtime Reporter) and the RMR (Registered Merit Reporter – highest testing speed at 260wpm).
I also hold BIVR’s Qualified Realtime Reporter accreditation with distinction at Level 1 (2009) and Level 2 (2017), and I became a Fellow of the Institute in January 2022.
I hold a current Australian passport valid for worldwide travel, including the EU.
Realtime is my favourite pastime.
