Amber Fraass, RPR, a freelancer in South Ogden, UT, ended NCRA Connect Virtual 2020 with a new goal in mind.

“Each class that I watched really had some value to me,” Fraass said. “The realtime presentation by Anissa Nierenberger [RPR, CRR, CRC, CRI, a captioner from Boise, ID, and owner of Caption Masters] was one of my top three favorite presentations. I had not really given much thought about getting my CRR until I watched her presentation. Her suggestions of shortening writing and the ‘three strikes you’re out’ rule really clicked for me. I have now set a goal to obtain my CRR and have started a daily practice and note review to look for ways to improve as a reporter and to reach another skill level.”

Fraass said the virtual conference worked well for her this year since she has a newborn daughter and a son who is not quite two years old.
