 Linda, a 23-year veteran in the field of medicine, started out in nursing school in 1980, but was romanced into the field of surgical technology in 1981. After graduating with a degree in surgical technology, she sought to sharpen her skills at the Orlando Regional Medical Center where she worked on the trauma team. There, Linda had the opportunity to be involved in a teaching hospital setting where she assisted with pioneering procedures and mentored resident surgeons. Following the birth of her first child, the new Mom became interested in medical transcription. After completing the MT course at the VLC, Linda transcribed for a company at home. She is currently employed by On-Time Transcription. In addition to working for many different clients there, she is the exclusive transcriber for the president of the company.

 After 20 years in the field of accounting, Linda began exploring opportunities that would let her work from her rural home in New Mexico, and found medical transcription. A week before graduating from an MT course, she began sending out her resume and within five weeks she was working for Ascott Transcription Services, a national company with its headquarters in Iowa. Linda has found that medical transcription has lived up to her expectations - it is challenging and rewarding, and gives her the flexibility she wanted. She really enjoys working for Ascott. Now, Linda is adding another dimension to her part-time at-home career by joining us at the VLC as a reviewer.
