Since 1994, as an Iowa State University student, I have worked in all
aspects of document transcribing and conversion.
My
recent transcription work includes a book dictation project (an autobiography
of a prominent socially conscious entrepreneur), a book interview project
on hybrid vehicles, and a prison interview video project.
If you need accurate written documents transcribed from court proceedings,
interviews, dictation, business meetings, conference calls, focus groups,
press briefings, lectures, radio shows, panel discussions, seminars, or
any medical-related sources, please contact me. I am also fluent in web
coding and site design. Email or phone me to discuss your project needs.
I am an independent contractor seeking a part-time or contract position.
WEB
DESIGN
If
you are looking for affordable, aesthetically toned web sites—from
ornate and complex to understated Zen-like professional simplicity in
design and production, please write me and we can explore together your
vision and needs. I have been designing web sites for 8 years and have
accrued a keen sense for imagery that matches my client's business or
personal character. I
am versed in Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, InDesign, Flash,
Javascript, HTML, DHTML, and the creation of ecommerce (i.e. shopping
cart) websites. I specialize in dynamic, fast-loading web presentations.
Some of my prominent accounts have been Miss Wyoming USA, Mahoney's Casino
in Las Vegas, and the House of the Twelve Apostles.

TRANSCRIBING
Part of my extensive experience in transcribing includes a highly-developed
literary and technical vocabulary. In my work, I’ve listened to people
with many different accents. With my varied teaching/transcribing background,
I’ve had many years experience discerning and listening to multiple voices
talking at once.
Presently, I am studying medical transcription. This highly demanding
coursework emphasizes accuracy, technical transcription skills, and a
skilled ear in interpreting rushed doctors, as well as those with heavy
accents.

DOCUMENT
CONVERSION
I am an expert in—and remarkably efficient at—converting documents from
one format to another. With a strong expertise in web design, I can produce
stunning, web-ready documents. Fees for document conversion are adapted
to your project and budget. Compensation is determined on a per document
basis allowing you to track performance. I work from my own FTP site or
can work from yours, and of course, through email/fax/telephone correspondence.
