I have served as a part-time legal clerical assistant to Carlos Lam of Lam Law Office since 2011 when I lived for a time in Indianapolis, IN. When I moved back to my home state of Oregon in 2018, he accommodated me by making this a remote job. I still serve him in duties of going through court files to secure names and addresses for potential defendants who would benefit from his services in court. I create marketing letters and labels to send to these potential clients. He is served well by my work in maintaining a well-respected practice in Indianapolis. In addition, I keep up his court calendar remotely from Hillsboro, Oregon. We maintain an excellent, satisfying working relationship to this day. Since this is part-time (now, only about 6 hours a week), I seek another job in copyediting to supplement my income and serve a personal purpose in life.

After a change in marital status, I went back to college and obtained an Associate Degree in Medical Transcription. I had worked in doctors' offices for many years, and loved medical terminology and the detail of typing the reports.

In the course of preparing for this degree, I took required editing classes, "Editing Techniques" in which I earned the grade of A. The instructor complimented me on my use of language in my writing.

• Used correct grammar, spelling, and medical terminology in typing medical records.
• Accurately documented medical dictation to record patient care records.
• Maintained high levels of confidentiality with sensitive patient information following HIPAA guidelines.
