Linda began her career as a court reporter in 1998 and joined Chase Litigation Services in 1999. In 2012, she was elected to the Board of Directors for the Deposition Reporters Association of California (DRA) and served in that position until 2015. She later assumed an officer position with DRA in 2016, serving as secretary for the organization. In 2015, Linda took on a leadership role helping to run Chase with its founder and then president Lisa Michaels. Lisa’s mentorship became invaluable when she fell ill in 2018 and Linda stepped in to lead Chase.  After Lisa’s passing in May 2019, Linda became CEO and has continued to lead Chase with its same vision and commitment Lisa had fostered since its founding. In September of 2019 Linda accepted the position of Treasurer for DepoSpan, a National Network of Reporting Agencies. In honor of Lisa’s memory, Linda created the Lisa Michaels Scholarship Fund with Lisa’s family, which provides court reporting students funds for tuition and to attend conferences. Outside of her role leading Chase, Linda enjoys hiking, traveling and spending time with her family and her dog “Chaser.”

“I’d say the best part of my court reporting journey is that I met Lisa as a brand-new reporter, and she ended up being my best friend in life.  We worked together and played together and went through life together.  And in her memory and her love for this company, I am blessed to be the one to carry on what she started.”
