Editor's note: This is one in a weekly series of profiles on locally owned and operated businesses in Southern Oregon.
What do you do and how long have you been doing it? I do radiology transcription for major hospitals on the East Coast. I've been doing this 16 years.
How long have you lived in the Rogue Valley? We moved here in 2001 from Stillwater, N.J.
What inspired you to go into this line of work? I retired from the corporate world because it was getting too rat-crazy and I wanted to be home with my 7-year-old son. So I went back to school to get the certification I needed. I wanted a good income and to be home with my son when he was younger.
What decision or action would you change if you could do it again? I probably should have begun doing this sooner rather than later. The more experience you have, the more money you make. I'm starting to make good money now and if I had started at a younger age, I'd be making more now.
What's the toughest business decision you've made? Deciding on what's a good account and client and what's not, and staying away from companies that outsource work outside the U.S. I'm an independent contractor and sub-contract for people all over the United States. My interest is finding companies that hire only people in the U.S.
