Karisa began her career in December of 2001 as a stenographer working in District Court in Garfield County, Oklahoma. After three years working as a reporter in family and civil court, she left the security of an officialship position for the excitement of the freelance world. Over the next 13 years, she worked as a full-time reporter and owner of a regional full-service court reporting agency covering depositions in a wide variety of legal matters serving all of Northwest Oklahoma, including matters before the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. She had the opportunity to become familiar with many areas of the legal field including family law, workers’ compensation, military, environmental, banking, agriculture, energy, civil as well as criminal matters in various formats such as depositions, arbitrations, hearings, bench and jury trials, and administrative proceedings.
In 2018, she relocated to Arkansas and discovered she wasn't a Sooner after all and has adopted The Natural State as home. She convinced her daughter to move here as well where she attended University of Central Arkansas. Karisa is now married to a local Arkansan, born and raised on Wye Mountain, and they are raising their five children in the Greenbrier area.
After transplanting to Arkansas, Karisa began working with the local bar and developing relationships with other local reporters and agencies, while continuing her work with national firms. As COVID restrictions were tightened, remote platforms allowed her to expand her work and she began doing remote depositions for patent litigation and class action MDL cases nationwide. She is a regular reporter for the Arkansas Public Service Commission.
Today, Karisa uses over 21 years of experience, industry knowledge, and modern technology such as streaming remote realtime to produce verbatim transcripts in matters from general personal injury to even the most technical patent experts and everything in between.
She holds the national NCRA Registered Professional Reporter and NCRA Registered Merit Reporter license. She is also a licensed certified reporter for the states of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Illinois, Washington, Tennessee, Missouri, Georgia, New Mexico, and California.
