Employment History
STOEL RIVES LLP - Portland, OR - 3/22/99-4/27/12
IPC (Information Processing Center) Software Specialist (5/15/99-
4/27/12; IPC Technician prior)
As sole IPC Software Specialist in a firm of 900+ employees, managed
several major responsibilities in addition to assisting with IPC's
daily workload of job requests from attorneys and staff implementing
the above listed software. Tasked with problem documents forwarded by
IPC coworkers and IT Help Desk that they could not resolve. Was solely
responsible for firm-wide template design using both Legal MacPac
administrative-level tools and self-taught VBA for Word and Excel
including pleadings for almost 100 jurisdictions. Also used VBA to
design several firm-wide macros such as Excel Print Setup, Word
Document Cleaners, and Workshare Compare Reversal. Over thirteen years,
wrote hundreds of educational emails that were stored in categorized
Outlook Public Folders, articles for the IT monthly newsletter, and
instructional guides for IPC's unique hardware and software needs such
as digital transcription and OCR software. When IPC was presented with
out-of-the-ordinary work requests, often researched the Internet to
locate, install, and test special freeware and/or compose VBA macros to
automate repetitive, time-consuming tasks. Received dozens of employee-
to-employee "Above & Beyond" awards for exemplary service.
