Linda Mages

My name is Linda Mages and I graduated from Logan Senior High School in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.  I was a computer operator for over twenty years until a back injury forced me to choose a new career.  I decided to work from home, so I chose to become a scopist.  I have always been interested in the law, so I enjoy the variety scoping has to offer.  I heard very good things about GateWay Community College, so I enrolled and have received my scoping certificate.  I have experience with softwares such as MS Word, Total Eclipse and CaseCatalyst.  I am proficient in the English language and when in doubt, I follow Morson’s or Gregg, whichever my client prefers.  I am detail oriented and work well under pressure.  I have also downloaded all file types.  I have always enjoyed working with people.   I look forward to working with you!

Hello.  I received my scoping training at the Internet Scoping School. As a prior court reporting student at Gateway Community College, I am very familiar with note reading and steno writing. Though trained in StenEd, I am also familiar with StenoMaster, Realwrite/Reatime, and the Phoenix Theory, as well as popular briefs and phrases. (At N-FT Scoping, we are continually adding new briefs and phrases to our database.) I have taken a number of courses in Case CATalyst, and will continue taking courses available through Stenograph to keep up with the latest technology. I have extremely strong research and English skills. I am a proud member of the NCRA. Prior schooling and work experience: graduated summa cum laude from Hunter College, New York City, with a BA in Economics; customer service, underwriting, and large group case management in both the financial and medical insurance industries; former holder of the NASD Series 6 and 63 licenses, which qualified me to work with mutual funds, variable annuities, and securities. For the past ten years, I have worked in social services as an Adult Probation Officer and as a case manager dealing with at-risk families, the homeless, and the seriously mentally ill. I have extensive experience with family, juvenile, criminal, and probate court proceedings. I look forward to working with you!
