Jeanne Brucia: “Transcribing is hard work and time consuming, but when you get your pay check, it’s well worth it. My advice to students is to sit-in as much as possible to get as much experience as you can. The more experience you get, the quicker you can be out on your own and making money.” |

Gabrielle Skolom: “Earning my court reporting certificate from LIBI was a great choice. I was provided with all the skills required to become a successful court reporter, and the faculty was always ready to help when needed. I have found my career as a court reporter to be a gratifying journey as each day brings forth a different experience. Additionally, I am provided with a sense of community in knowing that I can come back to LIBI at any time as an alumni for refresher courses and to reconnect with the faculty.” |

Melissa Valukis: “I love the field’s flexibility and don’t mind the part-time hours because my husband and I are expecting our second child. The money is good for the hours that I work and the struggle in school was totally worth it! It is wonderful not to have a boss over your shoulders hounding you day in and day out. I thank God every day.” |
