Professional Development Specialist
I'm going on 39 years as a freelancer. I've worked for many agencies over the years but I can truly say working as a Planet reporter has energized my career. They have topnotch clients, excellent, challenging work. Lisa and Kathy, having been court reporters, really know how to treat the working reporter. The Planet back office team is #1 in the industry. I take great pride in saying, "I'm from Planet Depos."

Planet Depos has been absolutely instrumental in helping me become the reporter I am today. It is a first-rate agency that also gives back in so many ways by investing in its reporters and future reporters. As one of the first graduates of Planet Institute, Planet Depos helped me bridge the gap between school and my first year of reporting. Whether you are a new reporter or a veteran of the industry, Planet Depos offers so many opportunities for continued growth and development, and they are there with you every step of the way!
There are so many issues and personalities a company has to balance, and I know it is a true juggling act. I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to have such professional people that I can work with. It really takes the stress out of my job. Not all people are as thoughtful and dedicated to the reporters as you guys are. Luckily, the bad are few and far between, but they do remind me to take the time to show my appreciation to those who stand with me in this profession. Sometimes I forget to thank those who help me do what I do. So thank you for your help, and thank you for always making the experiences and work I do for PD enjoyable.
