South Coast College Alumni Hired in Orange County Courts

Congratulations to three South Coast College alumni who recently were hired in the Orange County Court System -- Cassandra Caldarella, CSR; Kris Tanoue, CSR; and Vienna Chon.  Pictured below is Cassandra Caldarella who wrote this in the Why I Love Court Reporting Facebook Page.

"I'm so excited to get to set up my new office with awesome reporter roommates. I never thought I'd be excited to work in a cubicle again, but it's different because I'm still somewhat autonomous with no bosses looking over my shoulder. Having an officialship is like being a part of a family. I get to work with great court reporters and staff. Everyone has been so helpful as we get set up in our new position and new office."

Bringing Court Reporting to Roosevelt HIgh School

GETTING THE WORD OUT ABOUT COURT REPORTING is a challenge because most career counselors know little or nothing about the secret career of court reporting.  More and more people are entering the court reporting program after having attained one or more degrees at various universities and have not found suitable employment opportunities.  

Thanks to the California Court Reporting Association (CCRA) and the Deposition Reporters Association (DRA) and to alumni members such as Stephanie Leslie of Regal Court Reporting and Pat Hahn of Hahn and Bowersock for helping to seek out ways to reach young people in high school.  

Thanks to Pat Hahn for arranging for South Coast College participants and Jeff Koller, Esq. of Hahn and Bowersock to speak in front of a great audience of interested participants at the Roosevelt High School mock courtroom.  Click on Roosevelt High School to see more about the law activities.  Click on South Coast College and GET INFO NOW to find out more about how you can get involved in this secret profession.
