    Hi everyone!

    I am a legal videographer seeking new steady clients for remote depositions.

    I have been in the field for five years. I am based in Tarzana, CA and am a CA notary public as well.

    I have worked steadily with numerous large legal services agencies, including Atkinson-Baker, Lexitas, First Legal, Veritext, US Legal, and more.

    I have a strong educational and employment background focused on client services and interpersonal communication. I am reliable, personable, punctual, and professional. I know when to speak up and be present, and I also know when to be present yet not audible. 

    Since mid-March of 2020, due to COVID, I’ve been exclusively handling remote Zoom depositions in every time zone of the US - recording, receiving, sharing, and notating exhibits, managing breakout rooms, etc.

    I have my own pro-grade Zoom account if I'm called upon to host and am happy to send out email invites to all attendees, if necessary.

    I currently run two hardwired PC laptops with Cat8 Ethernet connections -  one with a super-fast i7 processor, the other with a reliable i5 to ensure no loss of signal. I am happy to make the CSR the co-host upon request.

    As far as recording, I use OBS as my master, and will record locally and to the cloud, where applicable. I’m a big fan of “better safe than sorry” - this overkill ensures there is more than one high-quality backup.
