Just how far can your steno machine take you?
Join us on Tues., March 24 from 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern for an engaging Ask Me Anything ZoomUp exploring the many career paths available to machine shorthand writers — from federal courtrooms to captioning and beyond.
Meet the panelists:

- Kelly Keyes-Linkowski, RPR, CRR, CRC, CRI, CPE, NCRA Director
- Susan Reynolds, retired official reporter, court reporting teacher, and captioner
Together they’ve worked in courts, live broadcast environments, and high-level federal positions — and they’re ready to share their experiences.
What we’ll cover:
- What career paths can I follow?
- How do I become a stenographer in Congress?
- How do I get started in captioning or transition to CART?
- What is involved in starting my own agency?
- How do I land travel jobs?
